The phase and the group velocity of light propagating in conventional optical media cannot exceed the speed of light in ...

The largest solar storm in two decades hit Earth in May 2024. For several days, wave after wave of high-energy charged ...

In recent years, there have been attempts to describe the inside of a proton using quantum information tools, with partial ...

For the first time ever, scientists have managed to snap a picture of an electron’s shape while it moves through a solid.

We present a fully quantum model for the excitation of a bound electron based on the “free-electron bound-electron resonant interaction” (FEBERI) scheme. The bound electron is modeled as a quantum two ...

Physicists know from previous experiments that what happens at the nuclear scale to protons and neutrons also affects their ...

For the first time, scientists have measured the shape of an electron in solids, opening the door to advances in quantum materials.

Electrons have a hidden feature — spin — that could revolutionize technology. Magnets can control it, but researchers are now ...

Achieving practical interstellar travel requires overcoming the immense challenge of reaching extraordinary velocities. To ...

Joshua Folk, a member of UBC’s Physics and Astronomy Department and the Blusson Quantum Matter Institute ... determined by the ratio of two fundamental constants of nature—Planck’s constant and the ...
