A new lens-free imaging system uses software to see finer details from farther away than optical systems ever could before.

Each layer contained an image sensor, an optical communications system, and an artificial synapse array which was designed to recognize a specific letter – M, I or T. To test it out, the researchers ...

Cameras may soon see without lenses, and the change could be as profound as the leap from film to digital. A new imaging technology developed at the University of Connecticut promises to rewrite the ...

New research has shown how the quantum mechanical principle of strong coupling opens unrivalled possibilities for designing optical filters. A team of researchers from the University of Cologne, ...

Over the decades, development into silicon photonic modulators – technologically advanced devices that enable the manipulation of light properties – has revealed potential in various network and ...

Light is quietly becoming the new language of brain technology. Instead of thick wires and skull-penetrating electrodes, a ...

Fig. 1 Overview of the OFN sensor. (A) Schematic diagram of the OFN sensing system; (B) Photographs of the output light when the sensor was untouched, (C) subjected to normal force, and (D) subjected ...
