Light and matter can remain at separate temperatures even while interacting with each other for long periods, according to ...

Scientists have recently achieved a groundbreaking feat by creating a new form of light matter within a quasicrystal. This development introduces a novel phase of matter that defies conventional ...

Experts call these hybrid light-matter particles “exciton-polaritons”. They have both material and light-like properties and can condense – similar to a Bose-Einstein condensate, an extreme state of ...

Strong light–matter coupling has emerged as a transformative concept in modern physics, whereby the interaction between confined electromagnetic fields and material excitations is engineered to yield ...

Supersolid light, a newly discovered phase of matter, represents a groundbreaking leap in our understanding of physics. This phenomenon combines properties of both solids and superfluids, resulting in ...

A team of astronomers and astrophysicists at the Chinese Academy of Science's National Astronomical Observatories has found evidence suggesting that a "gas clump" in a fast-moving cloud in the ...

Knots and links, with their unique and robust topological structures, play a vital role across various disciplines, including physics, life sciences, and light–matter interactions. As a representative ...

Researchers have developed a simple method to explore a complex area of quantum science. The discovery makes research in this field cheaper and more accessible, which could significantly impact the ...

Light and matter can remain at separate temperatures even while interacting with each other for long periods, according to new research that could help scale up an emerging quantum computing approach ...
