This winter in Bristol has been even gloomier than usual – so I was really looking forward to the Bristol Light Festival 2026. We went on the last evening of the event (28 February) and we were ...

Physicists have managed to simulate a strange quantum phenomenon where light appears to arise from empty space a concept that until now has only existed in theory. Using cutting-edge simulations, ...

Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute have broken a longstanding barrier by managing to send single photons—that can't be ...

Researchers have found that under certain conditions, a laser beam can act like an opaque object and cast a shadow, opening new possibilities for technologies that could use a laser beam to control ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, researchers have detected a previously unknown quantum force capable of bending light in controlled lab simulations. This finding challenges our current understanding of ...

A light has emerged at the end of the tunnel in the long pursuit of developing quantum computers, which are expected to radically reduce the time needed to perform some complex calculations from ...

It has never been straightforward to probe the secrets of quantum systems. Quantum systems are powerful but extremely hard to measure. The traditional methods require astronomical resources, making ...
