A team of physicists has designed quantum algorithms that can model one of the most elusive behaviors in nature: a photon flipping its polarization inside an extreme electromagnetic field. The work, ...

Everything on the electromagnetic spectrum has some properties of both waves and particles, but it’s difficult to imagine a radio wave, for example, behaving like a particle. The main evidence for a ...

Scientists have hypothesized for over six decades the possibility of observing a form of wave reflections known as temporal, or time, reflections. Researchers detail a breakthrough experiment in which ...

Ammonia (NH 3), one of the most ubiquitous industrial chemicals, is required to manufacture nitrogenous fertilizer and can potentially be a next-generation green fuel. The reaction of fossil ...

A vlogger did an interesting experiment in a Tesla. He took a device that measures electric and magnetic fields (EMFs) to find out what their level is inside the Tesla when it is left charging. Follow ...

For the last 80 years, the theory of quantum electrodynamics (QED), which describes all electromagnetic interactions, has been a cornerstone of the standard model, withstanding the scrutiny of ...

Editor’s note: This is part of a series called “The Day Tomorrow Began,” which explores the history of breakthroughs at UChicago. Learn more here. A field experiment is a research method that uses ...
