#PhotoN

Researchers at AIST have directly observed magnetic flux quanta generated in a superconductor by photon absorption and demonstrated a new principle of photon detection that identifies the number of photons based on the number of these flux quanta.

A mysterious signal from a powerful gamma-ray burst may reveal how exotic particles and altered physics could let extreme radiation cross the universe

Eindhoven's Photon Bridge, formerly Photon IP, has raised €10M to make laser light sources for AI data centres in the millions, with samples due in 2027.

Chat SDK now supports Photon. Bring your bot to iMessage with tapback reactions, media, and signed webhooks, via cloud, self-hosted, or on-device modes.

Connect your eve agent to iMessage with the new Photon channel. One command sets up a Photon project, registers your phone number, and scaffolds the channel.

Photon, Moondream's inference engine, achieves near-realtime VLM inference (~33ms on NVIDIA B200). This is a peek into how it delivers up to 35% higher decode throughput by optimizing how the GPU works.

This is one of the more affordable ways you can get started with resin 3D printing

Particles of light cannot be divided into smaller particles, but if you try to snip off the end of one, instead of shortening it multiplies

The smart ring company plans to offer an LED therapy device that syncs with its smart rings.

Photons traveling straight through a cloud of gas appear to exit, on average, before they enter.

As Homer tells us, Odysseus made an epic journey, against the odds, from Troy to his home in Ithaca. He visited many lands, but mostly dwelt with the nymph Calypso on her island.…

Scientists have pulled off a first: teleporting a photon’s state between two separate quantum dots. This was done over a 270-meter open-air link, proving quantum information can travel between independent devices.…

Two of the forefathers of quantum theory, Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr, had a famous argument over whether light is a wave or a particle. Columnist Karmela Padavic-Callaghan finds that the matter has been settled once and for all
