A pulse of light sets the tempo in the material. Atoms in a crystalline sheet just a few atoms thick begin to move—not ...

Researchers built a silver-grooved chip that channels laser energy into nanometer-spaced peaks, beating the diffraction limit and aiding light-matter studies.

A flash of light has turned a sheet of atoms into a dance floor. In a feat of precision physics, researchers from Cornell and ...

Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman and his student Nagendra Nath published a series of papers in 1936 on the diffraction of light by a liquid in the field of a high frequency sound wave. This was ...

BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) - In the midst of a foggy Thursday morning, an arc of white stretched above the horizon, catching the eye ...

Increasingly complex applications such as artificial intelligence require ever more powerful and power-hungry computers to run. Optical computing is a proposed solution to increase speed and power ...

Researchers at Harvard University and Jiangsu University developed a technique for not only identifying infected cells, but also tracking the infection over time as the cells developed. They published ...

(Nanowerk News) Until recently, it was widely believed among physicists that it was impossible to compress light below the so-called diffraction limit (see fact box), except when using metal ...

Researchers have developed an optical computing system that performs feature extraction for quantitative trading with ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)'s first full-color image reveals a galaxy cluster, providing the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe yet obtained. The six prominent ...
