Physicists and chemists at Heidelberg University have realized a photonic microchip that is driven by light just as easily as ...

In a discovery that blurs the line between biology and technology, scientists have found that heart-shaped clams use fiber optic–like structures to channel sunlight through their shells in much the ...

By harnessing two natural timescales in resonator arrays, researchers created photonic chips that reliably produce multiple harmonics without active compensation. For decades, scientists and engineers ...

Light does a lot of work in the modern world, enabling all types of information technology, from TVs to satellites to fiber-optic cables that carry the internet across oceans. Stanford physicists ...

Researchers in Germany have unveiled the Metafiber, a breakthrough device that allows ultra-precise, rapid, and compact control of light focus directly within an optical fiber. Unlike traditional ...

According to a new filing with the European Union, Apple has acquired the assets of invrs.io and hired its founder, who is the only employee.

Researchers have developed a novel experimental platform to measure the electric fields of light trapped between two mirrors with a sub-cycle precision. These electro-optic Fabry-Perot resonators will ...

Scientists from the UK and China have developed a lateral-graded multilayer grating that addresses a key challenge in tender X-ray RIXS technique. Demonstrated at the I21 beamline in Diamond Light ...
