Terahertz science is reaching new limits because of advances in ultrafast laser-driven secondary sources.
Read all about these powerful new tools in the October OPN feature article "High-Power Ultrafast Moves into the Terahertz:" bit.ly/46WpG9r

What is a photon, really? 😬
A new study applies first quantization to light and bridges classical optics and quantum mechanics. This framework, published in #AdvancedPhotonics, reveals the "quantum diversity" of photons.

When a beer garden visit results in you & your colleagues cutting off branches 🌿 to see esculin #fluorescence …
Freshly cut chestnut branches leak a milky substance that contains esculin, a colorless compound that fluoresces under UV light.

🧪 lovely #scicomm article- not that I understand it any more than before but it seems that physicists are also confused 😂

Physicists disagree wildly on what quantum mechanics says about reality, Nature survey shows
First major attempt to chart researchers’ views finds interpretations in conflict.

Only love 💛 for our hollow core fiber (when it still worked … experimental #physics is 10% cool lab work, 90% fixing the laser)
