Atomic, molecular and optical (AMO) physics explores the quantum behaviour of electrons, atoms and light, and their mutual interactions across energy, length and time scales. In atoms and molecules, ...

A new generation of specialty optical fibers has been developed by physicists to cope with the challenges of data transfer expected to arise in the future age of quantum computing. A new generation of ...

Complex fluids, such as polymer melts and concentrated suspensions, are foundational materials for industrial products, including high-strength plastics and optical components. The final performance ...

In June, more than 1,200 physicists will present new research at the 56th Annual Meeting of the American Physical Society’s Division of Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics being held in Portland, ...

World-leading atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physicist David DeMille is looking for new particles and forces that could answer fundamental questions about the universe and solve some of the ...

USC engineers have developed an optical system that routes light autonomously using thermodynamic principles. Rather than relying on switches, light organizes itself much like particles in a gas ...

The most comprehensive sci-tech news coverage on the web ...

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Delaware is a vibrant hub of scientific inquiry, encompassing a diverse range of research areas that push the boundaries of human ...

The first Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) was first created by Eric Cornell, Carl Wieman, Mike Anderson, Jason Ensher, and Michael Matthews on June 5, 1995 in JILA at the University of Colorado Boulder ...

Why electrical circuits operating at optical frequencies is an attractive opportunity. How a new plasmonic arrangement is used to mix electrical signals at optical frequencies. The advantages and ...

Much of modern life depends on the coding of information into means of delivering it. A common method is to encode data in laser light and send it through optic cables. The increasing demand for more ...
