Relaying a message from point A to B can be as simple as flashing a thumbs-up at a stranger in an intersection, signaling ...

Photonic trickery could drive faster comms gear Chinese boffins have emerged from their smoke filled labs having invented ...

Crystals might look simple, but their growth tells a far more complex and fascinating story. From grains of salt to diamonds, crystals form when particles lock into repeating patterns. For many years, ...

Schematic diagram providing an overview of this review. Liquid crystals can be categorized into nematic, smectic, columnar, and cholesteric liquid crystals. Recently, metasurfaces have been integrated ...

A research team at the Terasaki Institute, led by Dr. Vadim Jucaud in collaboration with Dr. Jing Yong Ye from the University ...

Photonic circuits, which manipulate light to perform various computational tasks, have become essential tools for a range of advanced technologies—from quantum simulations to artificial intelligence.

For the first time, a time crystal has been built that can be directly seen by human eyes, rippling in an array of neon-hued ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois have pulled off a laser first: they built a new kind of eye-safe laser that works at room temperature, using a buried layer of glass-like material instead of ...

The Centre Suisse d'Electronique et de Microtechnique (CSEM) research facility in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, has spun off a new company dedicated to manufacturing photonic integrated circuits (PICs) ...
