A device smaller than a grain of dust may help unlock the kind of quantum computers people have only dreamed about. Built on ...

In the realm of general relativity, black holes are well-known for their ability to trap light and matter by bending spacetime, creating a point of no return. While black holes have fascinated ...

A new "lensless" device could help, as it uses light to instantly detect harmful microorganisms. Usually, in order to check drinking water for bacteria, a sample of that water must be cultured in a ...

A device smaller than a grain of dust is emerging as a surprisingly powerful candidate to reshape how quantum computers are built and scaled. Instead of relying on room-filling optics and fragile lab ...

Metasurfaces, ultrathin engineered structures comprised of subwavelength nanoantennas, have emerged as a transformative platform in modern optics. Their ability to manipulate light—controlling phase, ...

Recently, a research team led by Academician Lijun Wang at CIOMP under UCAS has systematically reviewed the latest ...

Optical computing has emerged as a powerful approach for high-speed and energy-efficient information processing. Diffractive ...

Researchers have developed a new 3D printing method called blurred tomography that can rapidly produce microlenses with commercial-level optical quality. The new method may make it easier and faster ...

Kerry Vahala and collaborators from UC Santa Barbara have found a unique solution to an optics problem. When we last checked in with Caltech's Kerry Vahala three years ago, his lab had recently ...

All-optical modulation technology is considered an emerging research field that may have a significant impact in the future. As compared to the conventional electrical modulation technology, the most ...
