Fermilab has announced that it has completed construction of a laser laboratory required to house its advanced laser systems.

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

Universe Today reports on a new telescope proposal that could help astronomers detect Earth-sized exomoons, explaining current limits, future technology, and why moons around distant planets matter ...

Physicists have created a quantum interferometer on an atom chip. This device can be used to explore the fundamentals of quantum theory by studying the interference pattern between two beams of atoms.

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 ...

Interferometers, devices that can modulate aspects of light, play the important role of modulating and switching light signals in fiber-optic communications networks and are frequently used for gas ...

Certain detection of gravitational waves requires at least two detectors located at widely separated sites. Regional phenomena such as micro-earthquakes, acoustic noise, and laser fluctuations can ...

Particle-wave duality enables the construction of interferometers for matter waves, which complement optical interferometers in precision measurement devices. This requires the development of ...

Matter has the mind-boggling ability to behave like waves as well as particles but it has taken physicists some time to exploit this effect. In recent years, however, various groups around the world ...

Radio telescopes are one of the dark arts of science. Not only do you have to deal with RF wizardry, the photons you’re detecting are so far out of the normal human experience that you really don’t ...

So far, humanity has yet to find its first "exomoon"—a moon orbiting a planet outside of the solar system. But that hasn't ...
