Chemists from Tomsk Polytechnic University, as part of a scientific collaboration and with the support of the federal program of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation ...

Physicists and chemists at Heidelberg University have realized a photonic microchip that is driven by light just as easily as electronic components via a "plug." Their development could serve as the ...

Degenerate band edge (DBE) phenomena represent a striking feature in periodic photonic structures, in which four Bloch eigenmodes coalesce at a unique point in the dispersion diagram. This degeneracy ...

Researchers used their new technique to fold a glass bar (a), create an optical resonator (b), to achieve helical bending (c), and to create a table with a parabolic reflector (middle, lower row).

Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are compact devices that combine multiple optical components on a single chip. They have a wide range of applications in communications, ranging, sensing, computing ...

Researchers at The City College of New York have shown how a quantum emitter, the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond, interacts in unexpected ways with a specially engineered photonic structure ...

Perspectives on the integral role of photonics for sustainable energy by two leading researchers in the field were presented at the 3 August evening plenary session at SPIE Optics + Photonics 2025, ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The vibrant blue of a morpho butterfly's wings doesn't come from pigments but from light interacting with microscopic structures on its surface. This phenomenon – structural color ...

Many of today’s computing and communications applications demand almost unimaginable processing capability and high-bandwidth access to memory. For example, many data center systems using high-end ...

Taara, a graduate of X, Google’s Moonshot Factory, today announced a breakthrough approach to commercial communications and connectivity infrastructure ...
