Light can do more than illuminate a material. In some cases, it can temporarily change how electrons move through it.

Imagine shining a flashlight into a material and watching the light bend backward—or in an entirely unexpected direction—as ...

Scientists have shown that it may be possible to transform materials simply by triggering internal quantum ripples rather than blasting them with intense light. Imagine being able to change what a ...

Scientists are learning how to temporarily reshape materials by nudging their internal quantum rhythms instead of blasting them with extreme lasers. By harnessing excitons, short-lived energy pairs ...
