In the 18th century, the scientific world was drunk on Newtonian certainty. The universe was a clockwork mechanism, ...

The PbS QD filter array coupled with an InGaAs image sensor forms a high-performance NIR computational spectrometer capable of distinguishing materials and measuring alcohol content with high accuracy ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is ...

You might say it all started with a spot of hay fever. In June 1925, a young physicist named Werner Heisenberg retreated to the barren island of Helgoland in the North Sea, seeking respite from his ...

Quantum theory fails to explain how the reality we experience emerges from the world of particles. A new take on quantum ...

Unifying gravity and quantum theory remains a significant goal in modern physics. Despite the success in unifying all other fundamental interactions (electromagnetism, strong force and weak force) ...

"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in physics." The first step toward quantum gravity, the "holy grail of physics," may ...

A recent groundbreaking experiment in which anesthesia was administered to rats has convinced some scientists that tiny structures in the rodents’ brains are responsible for the experience of ...

Quantum invariants have emerged as powerful algebraic and numerical tools that encapsulate the subtleties of topological structures. By drawing on quantum group theory and the constructs of ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

(Nanowerk News) Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is a powerful technique for probing molecular compositions and structures non-invasively. However, traditional NIR spectrometers are often bulky and ...
