Chinese researchers have developed a new type of optical crystal that could help address several major supply chain bottlenecks.

Even very slight environmental noise, such as microscopic vibrations or magnetic field fluctuations a hundred times smaller ...

Physicists have successfully simulated how light interacts with empty space - a phenomenon once thought to belong purely to the realm of science fiction. (Nanowerk News) Physicists at the University ...

Quantum physics is no longer confined to cryogenic chips and vacuum chambers. It is starting to seep into the machinery of ...

HOUSTON – (June 17, 2025) – Vacuum is often thought of as empty, but in fact it is teeming with fleeting energy fluctuations — virtual photons popping in and out of existence that can interact with ...

This week’s report examines how quantum computing, nanofabrication, and precision measurement are laying the groundwork for industrial adoption.

The Dynamical Casimir Effect (DCE) encompasses a striking quantum phenomenon whereby rapid, nonadiabatic modifications of boundary conditions produce pairs of real photons from the quantum vacuum – a ...

A Hiroshima University team has designed a feasible way to detect the Unruh effect, where acceleration turns quantum vacuum fluctuations into observable particles. By using superconducting Josephson ...

The vacuum of space is a chaotic sea of quantum fluctuations. Some have said that this vacuum energy can be harvested to build our future starship engines. It can't. But it is technically possible to ...
