Scientists have pulled off a feat long considered out of reach: getting light to mimic the famous quantum Hall effect. In ...

Physicists have forced light to behave like electrons trapped in a magnetic field, producing a quantized sideways drift that had never been observed in photons before. The experiment, carried out on ...

Physicists have recreated the Nobel Prize–winning quantum Hall effect using light, revealing that photons can follow the same ...

More than a century before quantum mechanics was born, Irish mathematician William Rowan Hamilton stumbled onto an idea that would quietly foreshadow one of the deepest truths in physics. While ...

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope’s final data release confirms a major cosmic discrepancy and rules out many attempted solutions.

The map extends over the period of 9 to 11 billion years ago, during the universe's ‘cosmic noon' when star formation was at ...
