A hundred years ago, quantum mechanics was a radical theory that baffled even the brightest minds. Today, it's the backbone ...

Scientists have shown that it may be possible to transform materials simply by triggering internal quantum ripples rather ...

Light can do more than illuminate a material. In some cases, it can temporarily change how electrons move through it.

Quantum physicists are edging closer to a kind of controlled transmutation, not of lead into gold, but of one electronic reality into another. By steering exotic entities called excitons, researchers ...

Scientists are learning how to temporarily reshape materials by nudging their internal quantum rhythms instead of blasting ...

Two-photon absorption and quantum light spectroscopy have emerged as transformative tools in modern optical research. At the heart of these techniques is the simultaneous absorption of two photons to ...

Molecular hydrogen spectroscopy continues to provide a critical testing ground for quantum electrodynamics and advanced quantum dynamics. Recent methodological advances, including the use of ...

What if you could create new materials just by shining a light at them? To most, this sounds like science fiction or alchemy, ...

Dual-comb spectroscopy (DCS) has rapidly become a cornerstone of precision molecular detection, offering unparalleled resolution, broad spectral coverage, and fast acquisition speed. From fundamental ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The same technology behind MRI images of injury or disease also powers nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, which is used to analyze biological molecules for research ...

Purdue University physicist Tongcang Li performs optically detected magnetic resonance spectroscopy in his lab. Li and his team at Purdue are working on materials that would improve the resolution of ...
