Researchers have developed a revolutionary new tool for precision measurement at the nanometer scale in scenarios where background noise and optical loss from the sample are present. (Nanowerk News) ...

The universe comes with a built‑in speed cap, a hard limit that shapes everything from how stars shine to how cause and effect unfold. That limit is usually described as the speed of light, yet the ...

Metamaterials made of magnetic photonic crystals have been generated and tuned to a theoretically predicted transition point at which peculiar optical properties emerge. For example, when light is ...

Scientists have used a new method to determine the characteristics of optical, i.e. light-based, quantum states. For the first time, they are using certain photon detectors -- devices that can detect ...

Researchers at Heriot-Watt University have made a discovery that could pave the way for a transformative era in photonic technology. For decades, scientists have theorized the possibility of ...

As fast as modern electronics have become, they could be much faster if their operations were based on light, rather than electricity. Fiber optic cables already transport information at the speed of ...
