Researchers have shown that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can be used to produce multi-element optical ...
An unexpected discovery in a Harvard lab has led to a breakthrough insight into choosing an unconventional material, silica, ...
Scientists have unveiled a new way to capture ultra-sharp optical images without lenses or painstaking alignment. The ...
Capasso himelf called the discovery “a counterintuitive breakthrough in nanotechnology.” He added, “We have demonstrated in ...
Harvard researchers have found that silica, long thought to lack the right properties for optical metasurfaces, can sometimes ...
Given their tiny size, individual atoms are notoriously tricky to see and manipulate, but finding ways to do so would be extremely useful. The invention of the laser in the 1960s eventually led to the ...
A new kind of mirror is emerging from quantum physics labs, one that exists not as a chunk of polished glass but as a ...
An international team of researchers led by the Australian National University (ANU), Canberra, has invented a tiny camera lens, which they say could lead to a device to connect future quantum ...
