Scientists have demonstrated that negative refraction can be achieved using atomic arrays -- without the need for artificially manufactured metamaterials. Scientists have long sought to control light ...

Driving late at night, you come upon a red light and stop the car. You lift your hand wearily to block the red glow streaming through your windshield. Suddenly, both the green and yellow lights come ...

Researchers show that individual atoms can be caught and thrown using light. This is the first time an atom has been released from a trap -- or thrown -- and then caught by another trap. This ...

A rainbow reveals with colors what otherwise remains hidden: light is "refracted" by transparent matter, in this case water ...

Many objects that we normally deal with in quantum physics are only visible with special microscopes – individual molecules or atoms, for example. However, the quantum objects that Elena Redchenko ...

Extremely cold atoms can control the shape and direction of light when they work together, relying on a type of physics proposed more than 400 years ago but only now proven to be possible. To shape ...
