From its earliest days, Star Trek was never just about starships and strange new worlds. Beneath the optimism of a better future and adventure was a recurring anxiety about power—specifically, what ...

■ World-First Multi-Sensor Fraud Detection System VeraSnap v1.5 introduces four integrated fraud detection sensors, representing the first consumer smartphone application to combine these technologies ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2026.250149, discusses a quarter-wave geometric-phase ...

Atomic gravimeters are used to accurately measure gravity by detecting the quantum interference patterns of freely falling atoms in a vacuum. However, these devices are typically bulky and complex, ...

An experiment measuring a single atom's recoil confirmed that observing a particle destroys interference, settling the ...

Scientists test Einstein’s quantum challenge with one atom, directly measuring when photon paths erase interference stripes.

A sensitive matter-wave interferometer measuring moiré fringes offers force sensitivity comparable to quantum interference ...

For more than a century, scientists have known that waves can behave in ways that seem to defy common sense, from freak walls ...

Quantum physics overturned classical ideas by showing that matter behaves very differently at the smallest scales. One of its most surprising discoveries was wave-particle duality, the idea that ...

In the fractional quantum Hall effect, electrons in a strong magnetic field organize into collective states. Such states behave as quasiparticles, known as anyons, that carry a fraction of the ...
