Scientists have demonstrated that negative refraction can be achieved using atomic arrays -- without the need for artificially manufactured metamaterials. Scientists have long sought to control light ...

The photoelectric effect, first explained by Albert Einstein in 1905, laid the foundation for quantum mechanics. It occurs when high-energy light strikes atoms, releasing electrons. This phenomenon is ...

Prof. Dan Shechtman of the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology made the discovery that would later earn him the 2011 ...

An international team of physicists has successfully measured the size of a certain type of neutrino to a certain degree. In ...

The short answer is; no. We will never see atoms using visible light, simply because the wavelength of visible light (around 400 to 700 nanometers) is larger than the size of an atom (around 0.1 to ...

Scientists have found a way to achieve negative refraction—where light bends the "wrong" way—using carefully arranged atomic ...

A technology once feared too error-prone to underlie a quantum computer is hitting the big time.
