In a tunable, doubly resonant optical cavity, two distinguishable photons can strongly couple to the same atom and thus to each other.

A frequency-locking scheme endows the sensors with the necessary robustness to make practical measurements.

With its tunable panels, the specially designed surface can sculpt soundscapes on the fly.

A defense application has spawned a wide range of global research and practical uses.

Magnets built with high-temperature superconductors are at the heart of efforts to demonstrate a burning plasma in a compact device.

The superconducting transition’s exquisite sensitivity to heat underlies a maturing technology for detecting photons.

The London-based scientific organization has left its mark on everything from electrochemistry and molecular biology to lighthouse design, and it has been a leading innovator in science communication for more than 200 years.

During the first half of the second millennium, the American West was plagued by a succession of decades-long dry spells. Could it happen again?

If you listen carefully to the sound that sparkling wine makes after it is poured, you’ll hear the size distribution of the ringing bubbles.
