A hundred years ago, quantum mechanics was a radical theory that baffled even the brightest minds. Today, it's the backbone ...

Scientists have shown that it may be possible to transform materials simply by triggering internal quantum ripples rather ...

Light can do more than illuminate a material. In some cases, it can temporarily change how electrons move through it.

Quantum physicists are edging closer to a kind of controlled transmutation, not of lead into gold, but of one electronic reality into another. By steering exotic entities called excitons, researchers ...

What if you could create new materials just by shining a light at them? To most, this sounds like science fiction or alchemy, ...

Two-photon absorption and quantum light spectroscopy have emerged as transformative tools in modern optical research. At the heart of these techniques is the simultaneous absorption of two photons to ...

Scientists are learning how to temporarily reshape materials by nudging their internal quantum rhythms instead of blasting ...

Molecular hydrogen spectroscopy continues to provide a critical testing ground for quantum electrodynamics and advanced quantum dynamics. Recent methodological advances, including the use of ...

Dual-comb spectroscopy (DCS) has rapidly become a cornerstone of precision molecular detection, offering unparalleled resolution, broad spectral coverage, and fast acquisition speed. From fundamental ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The same technology behind MRI images of injury or disease also powers nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, which is used to analyze biological molecules for research ...

Coupling mid-infrared “idler” photons with near-infrared “signal” photons enables cheaper, smaller and more efficient machines for uses such as greenhouse gas monitoring to medical diagnostics.
