By squeezing terahertz light beyond its usual limits, researchers have exposed hidden quantum "jiggles" inside a ...

MIT physicists have built a new microscope that can see quantum motion inside superconductors ...

The implications of the breakthrough could ripple through multiple industries. A better understanding of how superconductivity behaves at quantum scales could accelerate the development of ...

You can tell a lot about a material based on the type of light shining at it: Optical light illuminates a material's surface, ...

As a result, an ordinary light microscope using one of the slides is able to image much smaller objects than was previously possible. In tests conducted so far, the slide enabled such a microscope to ...

The superconducting gap sets the basic energy scale that allows electricity to flow without resistance in a superconductor. In high‑temperature cuprates, the paired electrons (Cooper pairs) are mostly ...

Electrical engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a technology that improves the resolution of an ordinary light microscope so that it can be used to directly observe finer ...
