Physicists have finally turned a long standing thought experiment into a laboratory reality, showing that electromagnetic waves can be reflected in time as cleanly as light bounces off a mirror in ...

Scientists review research on gravitational wave detectors as a historical example of quantum technologies and examine the fundamental research on the connection between quantum physics and gravity.

For the past three years a Sandia research team has been investigating the performance of piezoelectric polymer films that might one day become ultra-light mirrors in space telescopes. In 2007, an ...

Controlling light is an important technological challenge – not just at the large scale of optics in microscopes and telescopes, but also at the ...

The ALPS (Any Light Particle Search) experiment, which stretches a total length of 250 metres, is looking for a particularly light type of new elementary particle. Using twenty-four recycled ...
