Our eyes can frequently play tricks on us, but scientists have discovered that some artificial intelligence can fall for the ...

Light can be sculpted into countless shapes. Yet building optical devices that can simultaneously manipulate many different ...

Researchers at Kumamoto University have discovered that a purely inorganic crystal grown from water solution can emit ...

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

A tiny optical device built into a silicon chip has achieved the slowest light propagation on a chip to date, reducing the speed of light by a factor of 1,200 in a study reported in Nature Photonics ...

Photorefractive crystals are a class of materials that exhibit a change in their refractive index when exposed to light. This phenomenon, known as the photorefractive effect, occurs due to the ...

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 ...

However, achieving three-dimensional confinement of light in a way that allows for precise control and manipulation has remained a challenging frontier. Previous attempts have often been limited to ...

A tiny optical device built into a silicon chip can reduce the speed of light by a factor of 1,200, a major step toward the realization of an ultra low-power, all-optical quantum data network. The ...
