Researchers at The University of Manchester's National Graphene Institute have created optical devices with a unique range of tunability, covering the entire electromagnetic spectrum, including visible light.
The secret to building superconducting quantum computers with massive processing power may be an ordinary telecommunications technology—optical fiber.
Distributed optical fiber sensing (DOFS) is currently a mature technology that allows 'transforming' a conventional fiber optic into a continuous array of individual sensors, which are distributed along its length. Between ...
Researchers from the Department of Applied Â鶹ÒùÔºics at the University of Tsukuba demonstrated second-order nonlinear optical effects in diamonds by taking advantage of internal color center defects that break inversion symmetry ...
You're going at the speed limit down a two-lane road when a car barrels out of a driveway on your right. You slam on the brakes, and within a fraction of a second of the impact an airbag inflates, saving you from serious ...
Materials scientists must be able to exert ultrafast control of matter using a strong electromagnetic field on the atomic scale to understand the ionization dynamics and excitations in solids. Researchers can couple picosecond ...
Excitons are quasiparticles which can transport energy through solid substances. This makes them important for the development of future materials and devices—but more research is needed to understand their fundamental ...
A team from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has developed a portable device that produces high-resolution 3-D images of human skin within 10 minutes. The team says the portable skin mapping device ...
The world is having to feed an increasing number of mouths. Studies indicate that global population will rise to over nine billion by the year 2050. In response, Bayer AG is researching resistant cereal varieties and enhanced ...
The National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT), Tohoku University, Toin University of Yokohama, and Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) have succeeded in developing a scanless high-speed ...
