Researchers have discovered brand new interference patterns in twisted two-dimensional tungsten ditelluride lattices. These so-called moir patterns can be tuned to look like periodic spots or even one ...

Thomas Young, born 250 years ago this week, was a polymath who made seminal contributions in fields from physics to Egyptology. But perhaps his most enduring legacy is proving Isaac Newton wrong about ...

On October 21, 2025, scientists revealed a groundbreaking discovery in the realm of quantum physics: a hidden quantum trick in two-dimensional (2D) materials that could transform quantum technologies ...

Physicists claim they may have found a long-awaited explanation for dark energy, the mysterious force that's driving the accelerated expansion of the universe, a new preprint study hints. Their ...

The film "Introduction to Holography" explains the principles of holography, focusing on how it differs from traditional photography by creating three-dimensional images. It discusses the role of wave ...

We've learned about light and how to bend it to our will. But what can we LEARN from it? Light is everywhere … but it’s not as predictable as you might think. It’s a wave that travels in straight ...

Researchers use DNA nanotechnology to build layered lattice structures that produce new interference patterns with unique physical properties and nanoscale control. (Nanowerk News) Researchers are ...

Quantum physics is the realm of the strange. And one of the strangest discoveries in the field is also one of the most fundamental: Particles fired at barriers with two slits in them can act like ...

Molecular paths: The interior of the vacuum chamber during a scattering experiment. The detector is shown in grey (top right) and the Au(111) gold surface is shown in yellow. The lines indicate the ...
