The device can be switched between its two states a trillion times a second, which is up to 1,000 times faster than today's leading commercial transistors.
The researchers' new concept demonstrates an unprecedented receiver sensitivity of just one photon-per-information bit at a data rate of 10 gigabits per second.
A French nanorobotics team has assembled a new microrobotics system that pushes forward the frontiers of optical nanotechnologies.
Inspired by the human eye, researchers have developed an adaptive metalens that is essentially a flat, electronically controlled artificial eye.
US Engineers have produced 3D images entirely out of light.
New platform, ARON, is a communications system designed to transmit real-world data via infrared light.
One of the world’s fastest detectors, capable of capturing images in billionths of a second, has been developed by the UK for use at the world’s largest X-ray laser, the European XFEL.
Researchers from ITMO University have built a setup for recording holograms of tiny objects like living cells with a femtosecond speed.
A new type of 3-D display could solve the long-standing problem eye fatigue when using VR and AR equipment by greatly improving the viewing comfort of these wearable devices.
Engineers believe that continued advances in creating ever-more exotic and sophisticated human-made materials will greatly improve their ability to control light at will.
