Photonics is a branch of technology development that specializes in the creation of devices that can generate, detect or manipulate light. Recently, researchers at Université Paris-Saclay coined a new term for a new photonics ...
Carbon nanotubes are one of science's best kept secrets.
Quick bursts of laser light, lasting less than a trillionth of a second, are used in a range of applications today. These ultrashort laser pulses have allowed scientists to observe chemical reactions in real-time, image delicate ...
Video conferencing played a key role during the COVID-19 pandemic and is set to dominate many meetings in the future. To realize the true feeling of a face-to-face dialog, three dimensional video is required and yet the holographic ...
Electrical engineers at Duke University have discovered that changing the physical shape of a class of materials commonly used in electronics and near- and mid-infrared photonics—chalcogenide glasses— can extend their ...
A new laser speckle angular measurement (SAM) technique detailed in a paper in Light: Science and Applications demonstrates how slope error measurements can be reduced dramatically. This is important because X-ray mirrors ...
Some engineers find inspiration in the mechanics of bird flight and the architecture of bee nests. Others think much smaller.
Several plants and animals have evolved surfaces with long-term (i.e., days to months) air-retainability to prevent wetting and submersion. One example is Salvinia, a plant floating on water. The secret "how do they maintain ...
A new method designs nanomaterials with less than 10-nanometer precision. It could pave the way for faster, more energy-efficient electronics.
A team of researchers at the University of Central Florida have created a new nanomaterial that repels water and can stay dry even when submerged underwater.
