A new experiment confirms that angular momentum conservation holds even when a single photon is split into two.

Today, most people take pictures with their phones. However, long ago, we used film. This meant that if you wanted to take a good photo, you had to know some chemistry. People had to understand the ...

Advancing our understanding of the human brain will require new insights into how neural circuitry works in mammals, including laboratory mice. These investigations require monitoring brain activity ...

Researchers find that a photon can spend a negative amount of time in an excited atomic state while passing through a cloud of atoms ...

For the first time, researchers have observed how just one particle of light can trigger photosynthesis in bacteria — finally revealing the first step of the crucial process. When you purchase through ...

OAK BROOK, Ill. – New CT technology allows for a comprehensive, simultaneous evaluation of lung structure and function, something not possible with standard CT, according to a study published in ...
