A simple laser for quantum-like classical light
Tailoring light is much like tailoring cloth, cutting and snipping to turn a bland fabric into one with a desired pattern. In the case of light, the tailoring is usually done in the spatial degrees of freedom, such as its amplitude and phase (the 'pa.....»»
Survey highlights "publish or perish" culture as key factor in research irreproducibility
An international survey involving over 1,600 biomedical researchers has shed light on the perceived causes of irreproducibility in research results. The survey, which included participants from various countries and research institutions, aimed to id.....»»
Pimax Crystal Light review: a new standard for affordable PC VR

Another way to extract energy from black holes?
The gravitational field of a rotating black hole is powerful and strange. It is so powerful that it warps space and time back upon itself, and it is so strange that even simple concepts such as motion and rotation are turned on their heads. Understan.....»»
A human topological insulator: Researchers use choreographed dance to explain quantum materials
Science can be difficult to explain to the public. In fact, any subfield of science can be difficult to explain to another scientist who studies in a different area. Explaining a theoretical science concept to high school students requires a new way.....»»
A single atom can change the directional profile of the light emitted in scanning tunneling microscopes
Researchers from Madrid explain a phenomenon that allows the direction of light emission to be controlled at the atomic scale. The paper provides a detailed explanation of how the profile of the light collected in a scanning tunneling microscope (STM.....»»
Scientists discover all-optical nuclear magnetic resonance analog with quantum fluids of light
Researchers from Skoltech, the University of Warsaw, and the University of Iceland have demonstrated that by optical means it is possible to excite and stir an exciton-polariton condensate, which emits a linearly polarized light with a polarization a.....»»
