Light can be sculpted into countless shapes. Yet building optical devices that can simultaneously manipulate many different ...

Our eyes can frequently play tricks on us, but scientists have discovered that some artificial intelligence can fall for the ...

A tiny optical device built into a silicon chip has achieved the slowest light propagation on a chip to date, reducing the speed of light by a factor of 1,200 in a study reported in Nature Photonics ...

Imagine shrinking light down to the size of a tiny water molecule, unlocking a world of quantum possibilities. This has been a long-held dream in the realms of light science and technology. Recent ...

(Nanowerk News) Chirality is the property that the structure is not superposable on its mirrored image. Chiral materials exhibit the characteristic feature that they respond differently to left- and ...

A tiny optical device built into a silicon chip can reduce the speed of light by a factor of 1,200, a major step toward the realization of an ultra low-power, all-optical quantum data network. The ...

However, achieving three-dimensional confinement of light in a way that allows for precise control and manipulation has remained a challenging frontier. Previous attempts have often been limited to ...

Given their tiny size, individual atoms are notoriously tricky to see and manipulate, but finding ways to do so would be extremely useful. The invention of the laser in the 1960s eventually led to the ...

Featuring Two Interface Panels and Adjustable Performance Parameters, Kit Allows Designers to Easily and Inexpensively Evaluate VCNL4000 for Their Applications Vishay Intertechnology today introduced ...
