A new theory that explains how light and matter interact at the quantum level has enabled researchers to define for the first time the precise shape of a single photon. The nature of this interaction ...

For photosynthesis, one photon is all it takes. Only a single particle of light is required to spark the first steps of the biological process that converts light into chemical energy, scientists ...

Although filtering each perfect photon requires sacrificing several imperfect photons, this reduces the total number of photons needed. This saves an enormous amount of computing power and makes ...
