Scientists have demonstrated that negative refraction can be achieved using atomic arrays -- without the need for artificially manufactured metamaterials. Scientists have long sought to control light ...

Refraction—the bending of light as it passes through different media—has long been constrained by physical laws that prevent independent control over how light waves along different directions bend.

"The colors of the spectrum, then, "are not Qualifications [alterations] of Light … (as 'tis generally believed), but Original and connate properties." When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

Be it sensors, cameras, or displays: Metasurfaces have the potential to fundamentally improve optical systems in our everyday lives. By controlling light more precisely, they drive compact, ...

3D printing and silicon photonics have combined in a rather exciting way this week. Researchers at MIT have engineered a novel 3D printing design on a single computer chip, officially the world's ...

Just as nanoplasmonics reveals the fascinating interplay between light and metal nanoparticles, nanophotonics ventures into the broader realm of light manipulation at the nanometer scale. It explores ...

Horiba has developed a particle size distribution measuring device that accurately measures particle size distribution even in the presence of similar-shaped particles. The device uses image ...
