Researchers from Regensburg and Birmingham have overcome a fundamental limitation of optical microscopy. With the help of quantum mechanical effects, they succeeded for the first time in performing ...

Light does a lot of work in the modern world, enabling all types of information technology, from TVs to satellites to ...

Why can't plasmons achieve quality factors as high as dielectrics?""Because metals heat up easily—they're inherently lossy."This exchange is almost ...

Researchers at Tsinghua University developed the Optical Feature Extraction Engine (OFE2), an optical engine that processes data at 12.5 GHz using light rather than electricity. Its integrated ...

A technical paper titled “Scalable nanopatterning of organic light-emitting diodes beyond the diffraction limit” was published by researchers at ETH Zurich, University of Alberta, Indian Institute of ...

Optical diffraction tomography (ODT) has long been recognized for its potential in non-invasive, label-free imaging of live biological cells. However, a major challenge arises when ODT is applied to ...

Nature is full of an almost infinite array of colors, but some are more unique than others. Apart from the inanimate sky and water, the color blue only some animals and flowers have the privilege of ...

In the relentless pursuit of miniaturization, the field of nanofabrication has witnessed significant advancements, driven by the demand for higher component density and performance in chip ...

Researchers created nanoscale glass structures with near-perfect reflectance, overturning long-held assumptions about what low-index materials can do in photonics. (Nanowerk News) Glass has been a ...
