Kanazawa gold leaf is a traditional Japanese material known for its remarkable thinness, just 100 nanometers—about 1/1,000 the diameter of a human hair—and its brilliant shine.

New studies of the “platypus of materials” help explain how their atoms arrange themselves into orderly, but nonrepeating, patterns.

Scientists made real plants glow by putting tiny light-storing particles into their leaves - no batteries or gene editing needed.

When the famous Coggia's Comet flashed across the sky in 1874, a Missouri astronomer named Carr Waller Pritchett made a wish.

A team of researchers at the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has created a new breakthrough in photonics: the design of the first optical device that follows the emerging ...

Reseachers uses quantum simulations to vizualize the shape of a photon emitted by a single nanoparticle -- in this case, it's lemon-shaped.

The latest optical atomic clocks use faster atoms such as ytterbium, which tick up to 100 trillion times per second. However, their stability has been restricted by quantum noise, ...

Over a decade of editorial experience across a number of publications and more than 60 countries visited have given Dylan Pearl a wealth of travel knowledge, and the tools to effectively communicate ...
