When we look at the world around us, all that we see is thanks to light. It reflects, refracts, and interacts, carrying shape and depth from the objects it touches. But what about light itself?

Northwestern University researchers develop a molecular coating for tungsten diselenide, boosting single-photon emission ...

“It’s a molecularly perfect coating, which presents a uniform environment for the single-photon-emitting sites,” Hersam said.

The first direct visualization of the shape of a photon has been created. These particles of light are impossible to photograph, but physicists at the University of Birmingham have now calculated ...

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

Quantum dots – semiconductor nanostructures that can emit single photons on demand – are considered among the most promising sources for photonic quantum computing. However, every quantum dot is ...
