My academic path studying physics at Tsinghua University began in 1981 where I completed a Bachelor’s and Master’s before earning a PhD in 1992. I then did a postdoc at the Central Iron & Steel ...

Light-based quantum technologies, such as quantum communication and photonic quantum computing, require reliable sources of ...

A single flat metalens now handles both excitation and fluorescence collection for diamond quantum sensors, enabling nanoscale sensing in spaces too tight for conventional optics.

It has a focus ring like on professional cameras, a massive one-inch sensor for bonkers photo quality and built-in filter options to imitate legendary Leicas. Too bad Leica's new Leitzphone is about ...

AI data centers are starting to replace copper with co-packaged optics in an effort to reduce energy consumed per bit and ...

When molecules fall apart, their electric charge doesn't stay put—it rearranges as bonds stretch and break. An international team of scientists has now tracked these ultrafast changes in the small ...

Physics is the search for and application of rules that can help us understand and predict the world around us. Central to physics are ideas such as energy, mass, particles and waves. Physics attempts ...

US researchers have successfully accelerated and stored the first proton beams inside a specialized ...

Quantum simulations are often limited by incompatible wavefunction representations across different algorithmic frameworks, hindering efficient integration. Here, the authors introduce a hybrid ...

Imaging-based single-cell physiological profiling holds great potential for uncovering fundamental bacterial cold shock response (CSR) mechanisms, but its application is impeded by severe focus drift ...

How a new startup plans to power satellites with lasers. A new class of ultrafast AI chips also uses lasers. And startup Axiomatic AI is building better AI models for science and engineering.

When people hear the word chip, many still think of snacks. Crunchy. Salty. Comes in a bag. That’s not the chip we’re talking about.
