Physicists use a 350-year-old theorem that explains the workings of pendulums and planets to reveal new properties of light waves. Since the 17th century, when Isaac Newton and Christiaan Huygens ...

Scientists have used a new method to determine the characteristics of optical, i.e. light-based, quantum states. For the first time, they are using certain photon detectors -- devices that can detect ...

As fast as modern electronics have become, they could be much faster if their operations were based on light, rather than electricity. Fiber optic cables already transport information at the speed of ...
