A quantum trick based on interferometric measurements allows a team of researchers at LMU to detect even the smallest movements of a laser beam with extreme sensitivity.

For more than 50 years, phase-shifting interferometry has been the technology of choice for high-precision surface form ...

A team of researchers led by the University of Warwick has developed the first unified framework for detecting "spacetime fluctuations"—tiny, random distortions in the fabric of spacetime that appear ...

Gravitational Waves were only first observed in 2015, captured via instruments at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory. This is going to change the way we look at physics forever, ...

For the first time, physicists have generated and observed stable bright matter-wave solitons with attractive interactions ...

A team of engineers and scientists has shown for the first time that a hard-X-ray cavity can provide net X-ray gain, with ...

Scientists have demonstrated that light alone can reversibly control magnetism in a topological material. Researchers at the University of Basel and ETH Zurich have found a way to flip the magnetic ...

Researchers have demonstrated that intense laser fields, particularly at low frequencies, can significantly enhance nuclear ...

Radio telescopes are instruments that capture faint radio signals from space and convert them into images of celestial bodies. To observe distant ...

The idea of using the Moon as a celestial antenna to detect gravitational waves is an old one which can date back to a time even before the Apollo missions. It has been lately attracting soaring ...
