What do birds and aerospace engineers have in common? Both have invented incredibly dark, “super-black” surfaces that absorb almost every last bit of light that strikes them. These are resplendent ...

Study shows how the mechanism of photoionization can be used to gain insights into complex molecular potentials. How can researchers use the mechanism of photoionization to gain insight into complex ...

First off, my name is a misnomer. I love physics like Lennie likes bunnies. So I was wondering today about the following: What happens to the photons that hit your eye and are recognized as light? The ...

Quantum fan: the new single-photon detector comprises 32 superconducting nanowires. (Courtesy: Ryan Lannom, JPL-Caltech/NASA) A new photon detector called PEACOQ can register the arrival times of ...
