Scientists have achieved a breakthrough in light manipulation by using topological insulators to generate both even and odd terahertz frequencies through high-order harmonic generation (HHG). By ...

When I introduced Steven Pinker, it felt like our worldviews couldn't have been more different. Here's why that dissonance was exactly the point.

Anomalous” heat flow, which at first appears to violate the second law of thermodynamics, gives physicists a way to detect quantum entanglement without destroying it.

This achievement makes India capable of quantum computing using the different properties of light-based particles, instead of relying on their interactions.

Up until now, the simulation hypothesis was deemed to be un-testable in philosophy and science and often dismissed as pure ...

Every year in October our UCSB Physics faculty present an explanation of the Nobel Prize in Physics for that year.
