(Nanowerk News) Nanoparticles, for example, exhibit quite different properties from the bulk samples of the same materials. Yet nobody knows why. We discovered a control method of the fractal ...

A team of physicists has coaxed a single, photon-like particle into behaving as if it lives in 37 different quantum dimensions at the same time, and they can make it do the trick on demand. The result ...

The superposition of two light beams with different amplitudes carrying only negative orbital angular momentum (OAM) gives rise to a locally positive OAM in the dark regions. This counterintuitive ...

We live in a three-dimensional reality. Because of that, it's pretty hard to imagine what a four-dimensional reality might be like, but that isn't stopping physicists from trying to figure it out. A ...
