For the experiment, a high-power green laser was directed through ruby cube and illuminated with a blue laser from the side. The green laser increases the optical absorption of the blue illuminating ...

In a new study, published in Advanced Materials Technologies, researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have developed a hybrid additive and subtractive manufacturing system with a ...

Over the past several decades, researchers have been making rapid progress in harnessing light to enable all sorts of ...

For decades, scientists have sought ways to compress the tools of optical science – lasers, lenses, mirrors – onto chips that fit on a fingertip. Such ...

Researchers at the Madrid Institute for Advanced Studies in Nanoscience (IMDEA Nanociencia) and the National Center for Biotechnology (CNB-CSIC) have developed an innovative technique to destroy ...

Living in an essentially zero-gravity environment, many deep-sea animals have evolved soft, gelatinous bodies and collect food using elaborate mucus filters. Until now, studying these delicate ...

When one thinks about microscopy, it seems to be mostly qualitative. Looking at a slide teeming with bacteria or protozoans is less about making measurements and more about recognizing features and ...
