Materials scientists at Rice University and collaborators have developed a material that uses light to break down a range of ...

Metal nanostructures can concentrate light so strongly that they can trigger chemical reactions. The key players in this ...

Physicists have found a clever way to detect the elusive Unruh effect without extreme accelerations. By using atoms that emit light cooperatively between mirrors, acceleration subtly shifts when a ...

The fundamental nature of living things challenges assumptions that physicists have held for centuries.
