Over the past several decades, researchers have been making rapid progress in harnessing light to enable all sorts of ...

A team of researchers designed a two-dimensional photonic time crystal that they say could have applications in technologies like transmitters and lasers. Despite their name, photonic time crystals ...

Researchers have developed a way to create photonic time crystals and shown that these bizarre, artificial materials amplify the light that shines on them. These findings, described in a paper in ...

Robots are currently employed in industrial sites and fields, including disaster rescue, medicine, security, and national defense. Conventional metal-based robots exert strong operating power due to ...

Traditional chip materials like silicon can cause photonic signal losses. When light interacts with mobile charge carriers ...

In a recent study published in Science Advances, a team of researchers have created a new method of making photonic time crystals, which is a type of artificial material capable of amplifying the ...

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 ...

Over the past few years, engineers and material scientists have been trying to devise new optical systems in which light particles (i.e., photons) can move freely and in useful ways, irrespective of ...

Electrically controlled silicon photonic devices use carbon nanotube heaters to modulate and filter terahertz waves on chip ...
