Scientists have found a clever way to supercharge ultra-thin semiconductors by reshaping the space beneath them rather than ...

Carbon nanotubes are moving from lab curiosities to workhorse components in quantum hardware, and one of the most striking examples is their use as single-photon light sources. By exploiting their ...

Researchers in China published a paper describing a theoretical model for photonic computing that used light particles instead of electrons for faster processing. The team developed “parallel optical ...

Researchers in Sweden have unveiled a way to create high-performance electronic electrodes using nothing more than visible light and specially designed water-soluble monomers. This gentle, ...

Everyday life on the internet is insecure. Hackers can break into bank accounts or steal digital identities. Driven by AI, attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Quantum cryptography ...

Thanks to modern LED bulbs, light is cheaper than ever to make—except for one particular kind. Three University of Chicago scientists have announced an innovative way to create infrared light, which ...
