Light can do more than illuminate a material. In some cases, it can temporarily change how electrons move through it. That possibility sits at the heart of Floquet engineering, a young area of ...

Polarized light is one of the most powerful tools scientists have for peering inside matter, yet the way it twists, scatters and transforms inside real-world materials has long been treated as a black ...

Researchers at Stanford University have demonstrated a nanoscale optical device that entangles the spin of photons and electrons at room temperature, overcoming a major practical limitation in quantum ...

Scientists have found a way to use light to control and read tiny quantum states inside atom-thin materials. The simple technique could pave the way for computers that are dramatically faster and ...
