Light can tell you a lot about what matter is doing. Visible light shows a surface. X-rays reveal hidden structure. Infrared ...
You can tell a lot about a material based on the type of light shining at it: Optical light illuminates a material's surface, ...
MIT physicists have built a new microscope that can see quantum motion inside superconductors ...
A study published in the journal Nature Communications describes the discovery. The researchers were able to change the magnetic properties of nickel phosphorus trisulfide (NiPS3), by way of a ...
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 ...
In the push to shrink and enhance technologies that control light, MIT researchers have unveiled a new platform that pushes the limits of modern optics through nanophotonics, the manipulation of light ...
