A newly designed optical centrifuge allows scientists to control molecular rotation inside superfluid helium nano-droplets.

A pair of photons enters an optical maze, and sometimes they leave as something new. Not new in the everyday sense, since both were still photons when they came out. But new in the way they share ...

A research team figured out a way to write data onto wafers of glass using lasers, and unlike, for example, a magnetic tape, ...

Forget hard drives. Scientists just figured out how to store all of humanity's data on glass, and it could last longer than most civilizations ever did.

ESA and Airbus hit 2.6 Gbps using a laser link between a plane and a satellite 36,000 km away, proving that fast, reliable in-flight internet is finally within reach. The post Forget Starlink. ESA ...
