Principles of supersymmetry have been used to boost the performance of an array of solid-state lasers. The work was led by Mercedeh Khajavikhan at the University of Central Florida in the US. Her team ...

Neglected theories will wilt and wither but can bloom again with enough attention. In 1996 theorist Jonathan Feng attended a seminar about searches for new particles predicted by the mathematically ...

A beautiful but unproved theory of particle physics is withering in the harsh light of data. For decades, many particle physicists have devoted themselves to the beloved theory, known as supersymmetry ...

Ring microlasers are eyed as potential light sources for photonic applications, but they first must be made more powerful. Combining multiple microlasers into an array solves only half of the problem, ...

"Wonderful, beautiful and unique" is how Gordon Kane describes supersymmetry theory. Kane, a theoretical physicist at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, has spent about 30 years working on ...

If Shakespeare were alive today, he’d write a tragedy about physics. I think he’d call it Romeo and SUSY. It would start out with Romeo, a kind of avatar for all theoretical physicists, falling deeply ...

Receive emails about upcoming NOVA programs and related content, as well as featured reporting about current events through a science lens. Large Hadron Collider at CERN isn’t a single-purpose ...

(Nanowerk News) The field of photonics aims to transform all manner of electronic devices by storing and transmitting information in the form of light, rather than electricity. Beyond light's raw ...
