Scientists at Harvard have built a miniature device that can twist and tune light in real time. By rotating two stacked photonic crystals and adjusting their spacing with a tiny mechanical system, they can control how light's "handedness" behaves. .. ...

A routine quantum optics technique just revealed an extraordinary secret: entangled light can carry incredibly complex topological structures. Researchers found these hidden patterns reach up to 48 dimensions, offering a vast new "alphabet" for ...

In an incredibly lucky cosmic accident, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured a comet breaking apart in real time--something astronomers have long tried and failed to observe. The comet, C/2025 K1 (ATLAS), wasn't even the original target, but when . ...

A mysterious spike of platinum buried deep in Greenland's ice has long fueled theories of a catastrophic comet or asteroid strike 12,800 years ago--possibly triggering a sudden return to icy conditions known as the Younger Dryas. But new research ...

A nearby galaxy is behaving strangely--and now scientists know why. The Small Magellanic Cloud's stars move in chaotic patterns because it slammed into its larger neighbor millions of years ago. That collision disrupted its structure and even created ...

Researchers have created a cutting-edge catalyst that turns CO2 into methanol more efficiently than ever before. Instead of using clumps of metal atoms, they engineered a system where each single indium atom actively drives the reaction. This ...
