Scientists at the California Institute of Technology have taken a major step toward developing lightsails that could one day ...

Lightsails operate by harnessing radiation pressure from a light source, such as the Sun or lasers, to propel a spacecraft.

Experienced sky-gazers love nothing more than whipping out some quality glassware and pointing it to the heavens to try and view some photons from ... to track the motion of the telescope accurately.

Entanglement—linking distant particles or groups of particles so that one cannot be described without the other—is at the ...

Entanglement -- linking distant particles or groups of particles so that one cannot be described without the other -- is at the core of the quantum revolution changing the face of modern technology.

By observing tiny ripples in spacetime called "gravitational waves" that propagate away from colliding black holes, ...

Researchers have observed the distinct transport properties of ultra-cold atoms in a quantum system and studied their behaviour upon sudden exposure to light pulse. This understanding holds potential ...

Imagine a future where deep space explorers send high-definition video messages from the surface of Mars, or where scientific ...

Particle detectors play a crucial role in our understanding of the fundamental building blocks of the universe. They allow ...

Scientists have demonstrated a major leap in quantum networking by transmitting entangled quantum signals with 100% uptime ...
