Scientists at the Department of Applied Â鶹ÒùÔºics II of the University of Malaga have participated in the design of a new technology that controls fluids and particles in three dimensions through virtual thermal barriers generated ...
A team of scientists at Simon Fraser University's Quantum Technology Lab and leading Canada-based quantum company Photonic Inc. have created a new type of silicon-based quantum device controlled both optically and electrically, ...
Focused laser-like light that covers a wide range of frequencies is highly desirable for many scientific studies and for many applications, for instance, quality control of manufacturing semiconductor electronic chips. But ...
A new era is beginning where it's possible to precisely assess the body's health status using only sweat instead of blood tests. A KAIST research team has now developed a smart patch that can precisely observe internal changes ...
Optical frequency combs are specially designed lasers that act like rulers to accurately and rapidly measure specific frequencies of light. They can be used to detect and identify chemicals and pollutants with extremely high ...
Skyrmions are localized, particle-like excitations in materials that retain their structure due to topological constraints (i.e., restrictions arising from properties that remain unchanged under smooth deformations). These ...
In nanophotonics, tiny structures are used to control light at the nanoscale and render it useful for technological applications. A key element here is optical resonators, which trap and amplify light of a certain color (wavelength).
How do left-handed and right-handed molecules differ? Researchers at ETH Zurich are using a new imaging method to visualize what was previously only measurable as an average, opening up new possibilities for biology and materials ...
A low-cost material made from clay—common in British soil—and vitamin B2 could one day help clean up pollution using only sunlight.
In the push to shrink and enhance technologies that control light, MIT researchers have unveiled a new platform that pushes the limits of modern optics through nanophotonics, the manipulation of light on the nanoscale, or ...
