The ability to detect single photons (the smallest energy packets constituting electromagnetic radiation) in the infrared range has become a pressing need across numerous fields, from medical imaging ...

Calculations suggest that the zipper filter means that infrared energy in that critical wavelength range makes up 72% of the “signal” reaching the base of the hair, rather than just 33% otherwise.

By revisiting the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, first made famous by the Hubble Telescope, Webb builds on a legacy of deep-space exploration. This new image uncovers galaxies that were previously hidden ...

An international team of laser physicists of the attoworld team at LMU, and the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (both in Munich, Germany) has achieved what they describe as “unprecedented ...
