Scientists at Philips have developed new fully digital Silicon PhotoMultipliers (SiMPs) that may replace detectors within PET scanners as well as open up possibilities for other ultra-sensitive detectors for DNA sequencing and protein microarrays. Digital silicon photomultiplier offers faster and ...

A team of physicists from the Technische Universitaet Muenchen, Germany has recently published an article describing an extremely strong interaction between light and matter. Their study brings quantum computers a step closer to realization, since quantum physics relies heavily upon ...

An enhanced technique to detect photon entanglement in different parts of an optical system has been developed by scientists from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). In their research the group demonstrates how, for the first time, quantum uncertainty relations ...

A recently developed nanoscale voltmeter created in 2007 by Professor Raoul Kopelman from the University of Michigan enables direct measurement of the electric field inside a cell. Kopelman’s voltmeter measures the amount of photons (light particles) in its surrounding, and ...
