Use of Split Laser Beam to Ensure Quantum Interaction Between Atoms and Photons

Although bouncing a single light particle from a single atom with a width lesser than one-billionth of a meter is no simple task, at present, scientists from the Centre for Quantum Technologies at the National University of Singapore have demonstrated that they can double the probability of a favorable result.

A Ground-Breaking Device Could Lead to Development of New Sensing Technologies

Ernst Chladni, a scientist and musician, discovered that the vibrations of a rigid plate could be visualized by covering it with a thin layer of sand and drawing a bow across its edge. This discovery took place in the late 18th century.

Novel Optics System Could Help Locate Source of Gravitational Waves

A novel optics system that mimics the structure of a lobster’s eyes would enable a conceptual Explorer-class mission to precisely locate, characterize, and alert other observatories to the source of gravitational waves, which are caused by some of the most powerful events in the universe.

Collision Between Two Massive Neutron Stars Seen for First Time

For the first time in history, astronomers have come up with direct detection of gravitational waves as well as light from a single cosmic event—a collision of two huge neutron stars.

New Cooling Technique for Observing Collisions Between Cold Molecules

At very low temperatures, how do chemical reactions proceed? An investigation of molecular samples that are cold, slow, and dense at the same time is needed in order to answer this question.

HgTe Quantum Dot Defects can be used for Amplifying Near Infrared Light

As part of a multi-disciplinary effort, researchers from Ghent University (Belgium), Delft University of Technology (The Netherlands), VU Amsterdam (The Netherlands), and IEMN (France) have proved that defects in HgTe Quantum Dots (QDs) can be used for amplifying near infrared light.

Comet from Oort Cloud Observed to be Located Very Close to the Sun Like Never Before

An astronomers group headed by David Jewitt, a UCLA professor, has recognized a “special comet” 1.5 billion miles away from sun. Till date, no comet traveling toward the sun has been observed at such a distance.
