We normally think of light as waves... but light is also made up of particles, called photons. With quantum physics, scientists are beginning to ha...

Photosynthesis is one of the most important chemical reactions in the world. It is an extremely complex series of chemical reactions that takes pla...

When you think of secret codes, you probably think of James Bond or the Cold War... but soon you might also think of quantum physics. That's becaus...

When an atom loses an electron, it becomes an ion. But ions attract electrons so they normally do not remain ions for long before they become atoms...

Until now, the interactions of electrons, photons, and phonons with periodic structures have been considered independently. What would happen if a ...

Diamond is an impressive material with plenty of valuable uses... but did you know it may soon be possible to run a computer with one? Scientists a...

A popular quantum paradox, "the Observer Effect," notes that by the mere act of observing an experiment, we affect the outcome. A similar conundrum...

Usually when we think of mechanics, we think of big, heavy machines, like motors, with all kinds of levers and gearwheels. They seem to have little...
