Scientists have long been fascinated by how light interacts with matter. At the heart of this curiosity are photons—particles that carry light—as they pass through different materials. When photons ...

Scientists claim to have found evidence of “negative time” after observing photons exiting a material before entering it. A team of quantum physicists from the University of Toronto in Canada made the ...

According to scientists at the University of Toronto, “negative time”, which was previously considered an illusion, has turned out to be measurable through quantum mechanics. This discovery contests ...

DPGAs (digitally programmable-gain amplifiers) amplify or attenuate analog signals, which maximizes an ADC’s dynamic range. Most monolithic DPGAs, such as the Linear Technology LTC6910 and the ...

“Negative time” might sound like science fiction, but an international team of theorists and experimentalists has determined that a photon can, in fact, spend a negative amount of time in an excited ...

A real mind-melter: Quantum mechanics is strange, but even for a field of science that regularly defies our conventional understanding of reality, the latest discovery is particularly baffling.

The groundbreaking experiment at the University of Toronto involved firing photons into a cloud of ultracold rubidium atoms. As these photons interacted, a strange event occurred: the photons ...
