The first direct visualization of the shape of a photon has been created. These particles of light are impossible to photograph, but UK physicists have now calculated their wave function to ...

Researchers have measured the brain’s faint glow for the first time, hinting at a potential role of “biophotons” in cognition ...

A quantum low pass for photons Date: April 13, 2017 Source: Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics Summary: Physicists have observed a novel quantum effect that limits the number of emitted ...

Scientists have created an "exceptionally bright" light source that can generate quantum-entangled photons (particles of light) which could be used to securely transmit data in a future high-speed ...

Researchers in Cambridge in the UK have succeeded in generating entangled photons using electricity alone, with a new device called an “entangled light-emitted diode” (ELED). The device converts ...

The quantum description of light as photons leads to predictions that have no classical counterpart. Coalescence is a striking example: when two identical photons arrive simultaneously at the two ...

Now, Kraemer and colleagues have made the first direct detection of the emitted vacuum ultraviolet photons by studying excited thorium-229 ions. The underlying idea is not new, Kraemer says, but ...

As the photons become more and more redshifted, another barrier to neutral atoms appears: the photons emitted when electrons bind to protons for the first time.
