The 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to three scientists working on experimental and theoretical aspects of quantum mechanics. As set out in the verdict of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the prize was awarded "for experiments with entangled photons, establishing violations of Bell's inequality and pioneering quantum computing".

Normal", that is visible light, is a type of electromagnetic wave. The distinguishing feature of each wave is its length or frequency.

Tegoroczna nagroda Nobla z fizyki dotyczy, podobnie jak w ubiegłym roku, odkryć dokonanych w tych właśnie dziedzinach, które stawiają pytania dotyczące zagadnień fundamentalnych dla naszego rozumienia wszechświata.

The media's attention has been captured by the latest news from Geneva where the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) has pronounced the work on the report on the concept of a new accelerator of elementary particles, LHC's successor, completed.

The 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences for "for groundbreaking inventions in the field of laser physics".

A diffraction grating is an optical instrument with many applications in scientific  research. The most important one is spectral analysis, which, in other words, means analysis of the chemical composition of materials.

On Sunday night, we will move the clock forward from 2 a.m. to 3 a.m. and thus, lose an hour of sleep. We owe the change George Vernon Hudson, a New Zealand astronomer. He observed that switching the clock between winter and summer time enable to better use daylight time.

'Liquid crystals' are advanced materials commonly used in modern technology. They are common in consumer electronic devices where they serve to present information as digits, letters, symbols and images. These so-called displays are used both in the simplest of gadgets as well as in color TVs, monitors, tablets, phones, etc.

Gravitational waves are another tool for space exploration, especially of phenomena related to large-scale objects. It may well be, as Barry Barish suggests in the CERN Courier, that they will help us better understand how the universe began or the Big Bang theory
