New Laser-Driven Imaging Technique Reveals Existence of Polarons

Many people picture electrical conductivity as the flow of charged particles (mainly electrons) without really thinking about the atomic structure of the material through which those charges are moving.

Quantum-Engineered States of Light Could Improve Efficiency of Feedback Cooling

How does the tightrope walker manage to maintain her balance and avoid that fatal drop from the sky? She carefully senses the motion of her body and vibrations of the rope and accordingly compensates any deviation from equilibrium by shifting her center of gravity.

Researchers Solve Mystery Behind Formation of Ultra-Diffuse Faint Galaxies

Over the last year, researchers have observed some very faint, diffuse galaxies. The galaxies are as faint as dwarf galaxies, but are distributed over an area just as large as the Milky Way.
