Team discovers new way to control the phase of light using 2-D materials
Optical manipulation on the nano-scale, or nanophotonics, has become a critical research area, as researchers seek ways to meet the ever-increasing demand for information...
Scientists show how caloric restriction prevents negative effects of aging in cells
If you want to reduce levels of inflammation throughout your body, delay the onset of age-related diseases, and live longer—eat less food. That's the...
Quantum researchers able to split one photon into three
Researchers from the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) at the University of Waterloo report the first occurrence of directly splitting one photon into three.
The...
Isotope movement holds key to the power of fusion reactions
Fusion may be the future of clean energy. The same way the sun forces reactions between light elements, such as hydrogen, to produce heavy...
Physicists may have accidentally discovered a new state of matter
Humans have been studying electric charge for thousands of years, and the results have shaped modern civilization. Our daily lives depend on electric lighting,...
Large exoplanet could have the right conditions for life
Astronomers have found an exoplanet more than twice the size of Earth to be potentially habitable, opening the search for life to planets significantly...
