Metasurfaces are highly versatile for manipulating the amplitude, phase, or polarization of light. During the last decade, metasurfaces have been proposed for a vast range of applications鈥攆rom imaging and holography to ...
The use of light to produce transient phases in quantum materials is fast becoming a novel way to engineer new properties in them, such as the generation of superconductivity or nanoscale topological defects. However, visualizing ...
Revealing the impulsive response of the bound electron to an electromagnetic field is of fundamentally importance for understanding various nonlinear processes of matter, and it is one of the ultimate goals of attosecond ...
Some of the largest and most sophisticated telescopes ever made are under construction at the Simons Observatory in Northern Chile. They are designed to measure cosmic microwave background鈥攅lectromagnetic radiation left ...
There is a long-standing folk art in China called "rice carving," in which lifelike artistic patterns are carved on rice with a length of only about 5 mm. These works need to be appreciated with a magnifying glass.
If you often find yourself off by one when counting your socks after doing the laundry, you might want to sit down for this.
In 1975, three CERN theorists, John Ellis, Mary K. Gaillard and Dimitri Nanopoulos, undertook the first comprehensive study of the collider phenomenology of the Higgs boson. Almost 40 years later, it was discovered at the ...
Researchers have developed a new chip-based beam steering technology that provides a promising route to small, cost-effective and high-performance lidar (or light detection and ranging) systems. Lidar, which uses laser pulses ...
Imagine stretching a piece of film to reveal a hidden message. Or checking an arm band's color to gauge muscle mass. Or sporting a swimsuit that changes hue as you do laps. Such chameleon-like, color-shifting materials could ...
One of the main objectives of optics is the control of light propagation and confinement. Progress in optics historically started with the development of bulky lenses and mirrors, then prisms and gratings, and so on. The ...
