Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have developed a machine learning system that learns ...

Studying physics can be very useful—even when it comes to machine learning. A digital "super-brain" with built-in knowledge ...

The speed of light remains one of physics’ firmest assumptions, but scientists still test whether it ever shifts under ...

Designing materials that steer light is a slow kind of trial and error. Each candidate structure must be tested in computer ...

Flashes of femtosecond laser light, lasting just a few trillionths of a second, have made it possible to observe new magnetic ...

Researchers in Konstanz discovered a way to manipulate materials with light by exciting magnon pairs, reshaping their magnetic “fingerprint.” This allows non-thermal control of magnetic states and ...

Light normally spreads out rapidly in all directions; a laser coheres the light in a narrow beam. The key to producing this ...
