In a glimpse of the early universe, astronomers have observed a galaxy as it appeared just 800 million years after the Big Bang—a cosmic Jekyll and Hyde that looks like any other galaxy when viewed in visible and even ultraviolet light but transforms into a c…

A molecular superfluid, high-resolution microscope and a protein qubit are on our list

This stunning image is full of young star clusters.

Over the past decades, engineers have introduced numerous technologies that rely on light and its underlying characteristics. These include photonic and quantum systems that could advance imaging, communication and information processing.

It vanished beneath the ice... 8 months later, it returned with secrets no one had seen.

Holograms are created with a single OLED pixel, bringing phones and glasses closer to projecting real 3D images without the need for lasers.
