Photon Force is an award-winning SME with a mission to provide innovative single-photon sensitive detector technologies to accelerate advanced research. Broad applications in the biomedical and ...

One recent experiment backs up Minkowski's answer — but still may not prove Abraham wrong. One might expect that the momentum of a photon, under almost any conditions, would no longer be a ...

The researchers discovered that the distance between lanthanide ions is one factor that significantly impacts the photon avalanching process. In light of this, they used an atomic force microscopy ...

By measuring the colour of the emitted light when the particles reached the pharynx, they determined the force it exerted with micronewton-scale precision. Meanwhile, a collaboration of scientists at ...
