Light-field camera particle detector PLATON — developed by ETH Zurich and EPFL — replaces millions of scintillator components ...

A team of physicists has coaxed a single, photon-like particle into behaving as if it lives in 37 different quantum dimensions at the same time, and they can make it do the trick on demand. The result ...

Dark matter appears to hold galaxies together, yet it has never shown itself directly. A new theory suggests the missing ...

A new particle detector called PLATON could replace millions of tiny detector components with a single block of ...

PLATON, a new particle detector, eliminates the need for millions of detector components by using a single block of ...

Quantum technologies, which leverage the principles of quantum mechanics, have been found to outperform their classical ...

The technology could eventually improve medical imaging systems such as PET scanners by reconstructing faint light signals ...

As dark matter is comprised of particles that do not absorb, emit or reflect light, it cannot be observed directly with the methods used to observe conventional matter. In recent years, ...

If photons possess more quantum states than expected, it would overhaul our understanding of all particle physics – and now physicists have identified a way to test this radical idea in an experiment.

A cutting-edge experiment has revealed the quantum dynamics of one of nature's most crucial processes. Using a complex cast of metal-studded pigments, proteins, enzymes, and co-enzymes, photosynthetic ...
