The self-organized helix structure with the axis lying in the plane of the cavity acts as a one-dimensional periodic photonic lattice. This is possible due to the unique properties of liquid crystals, ...

Such groupings of photons, dubbed “Photonic molecules”, constitute an entirely new form of matter, which until recently was purely theoretical.

Photonic molecules. Creating interactions between photons is not just of intrinsic interest; it could also lead to faster and more energy-efficient computers that use light pulses instead of ...

Photons, the elementary particles that make up light, are fast, weightless and don't interact with each other. But in new experiments, physicists have now created a new form of light ...

Neural networks are one typical structure on which artificial intelligence can be based. The term "neural" describes their learning ability, which to some extent mimics the functioning of neurons in ...

Attractive force: three-photon “molecules” have been made “Molecules” made from three photons have been created by physicists in the US. The photon triplets were made by firing laser light into an ...

'High-speed camera' for molecules. Certain molecular systems exhibit ultrafast processes, such as electron transfer and energy redistribution, occurring on the femtosecond timescale (10-15 seconds ...
