In a paper published July 24 in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, a team of Caltech engineers reports building a metasurface patterned with miniscule tunable antennas capable of reflecting an ...

Want to call someone a quick-thinker? The easiest cliché for doing so is calling her a computer – in fact, “computers” was ...

Metasurface technology is an advanced optical technology that is thinner, lighter, and more capable of precisely controlling light through nanometer-sized artificial structures than conventional ...

Over the past decades, engineers have introduced numerous technologies that rely on light and its underlying characteristics.

Imagine shrinking light down to the size of a tiny water molecule, unlocking a world of quantum possibilities. This has been a long-held dream in the realms of light science and technology. Recent ...

They distribute data and can separate cells from one other. But can they adequately light a room? Photos: Fiber optics lighting the way Michael Kanellos is editor at large at CNET News.com, where he ...

Lightwave Logic, a platform firm specializing in electro-optic polymers, has the potential to revolutionize the optical communications market with its superior performance in power consumption, ...

Brain organoids have helped unravel the understanding of cellular diversities, complex interactions, and neuronal networks. Human-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be used to generate brain ...

Carbon nanotubes are cylindrical nanostructures made by rolling up sheets of graphene. Graphene sheets are only a single atom thick and this gives this form of carbon many special properties. For ...
