An international team of researchers has shown that superconductivity can be modified by coupling a superconductor to a dark electromagnetic cavity. The research opens the door to the control of a ...

Helium-neon lasers may be little more than glorified neon signs, but there’s just something about that glowing glass tube that makes the whole process of stimulated emission easier to understand. But ...

Atomically thin semiconductors such as tungsten disulfide (WS2) are promising materials for future photonic technologies. Despite being only a single layer of atoms thick, they host tightly bound ...

Researchers in Germany and the USA have produced the first theoretical demonstration that the magnetic state of an atomically thin material, ?-RuCl3, can be controlled solely by placing it into an ...

Quantum technologies, devices and systems that operate leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could tackle some tasks more ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) have theoretically demonstrated that photons trapped inside an optical cavity carry detailed information about a ...

Optical cavities form the cornerstone of high-precision laser frequency stabilisation by confining light between mirrors to produce well-defined resonant modes. In these systems, the stability of the ...

Some of the most revealing signals about human health are carried in fluids that are almost impossible to measure. Tears, ...

A novel technique for enhancing optical spring that utilizes the Kerr effect to improve the sensitivity of gravitational wave detectors (GWDs) has recently been developed. This innovative design uses ...

Inside the optical cavity, light particles emerge and disappear. These fluctuations can change the magnetic order of α-RuCl 3 from a zigzag antiferromagnet into a ferromagnet. Researchers in Germany ...
