Researchers at the University of Basel have developed a new approach to applying thermodynamics to microscopic quantum systems.

There are many different types of lasers—almost as many as there are applications for the same—but what ties them all together as a class is that they depend on the same physical effect: stimulated ...

A single green laser, a glass bead smaller than a bacterium and a lab in Austria are helping you see lightning in a new way.

Protons can surf some truly gnarly waves. A new experiment suggests that the subatomic particles can be accelerated by a process akin to surfers catching waves. The protons get a speed boost not from ...
