A new chip-based quantum memory uses 3D-printed “light cages” to store light in atomic vapor with high precision. Quantum ...

Controlling light is an important technological challenge—not just at the large scale of optics in microscopes and telescopes ...

Berkeley University has compressed light to 10 nanometers This will make possible smaller optical fibers, but it could lead to huge advances in the field of optical computing. Many researchers want to ...

Microscopes have long been scientists’ eyes into the unseen, revealing everything from bustling cells to viruses and nanoscale structures. However, even the most powerful optical microscopes have been ...

Uniform gaps below ten nanometers boost tuning range and efficiency in graphene metasurfaces for mid-infrared sensing, imaging, and communications. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Picture a wafer-thin optical ...

Figure 1: 3D Gap-Plasmon Antenna Structure and the Simulation Results. (Image: KAIST) Focusing light into a point-like space is an active research field as it finds many applications. However, ...

This work is continued refinement of increasingly complex and useful nanodevices. Light powered engine added the 4 nanometer long Rice University nanocar The car’s light-powered motor is attached ...

Optical microscopes depend on light, of course, but they are also limited by that same light. Typically, anything under 200 nanometers just blurs together because of the wavelength of the light being ...

Researchers have developed a 3D gap-plasmon antenna which can focus light into a few nanometers wide space. Researchers at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology have developed a 3D ...
