A revolutionary new spintronic device developed in China enables powerful, precise control of terahertz (THz) wave ...

Conventional curved lenses, which direct light by refraction in glass or plastic, are often bulky and heavy, offering only limited control of light waves. Metasurfaces, in contrast, are flat and ...

Laser triangulation sensors function by the principle of geometric triangulation. This concept involves a beam produced by a ...

In a potential step toward sending small spacecraft to the stars, researchers have developed an ultra-thin, ultra-reflective ...

the team fired a laser to produce hybrid light-matter particles known as polaritons. As the number of photons increased, the researchers observed the formation of satellite condensates, a pattern ...

When the laser light struck the semiconductor’s ridges, it produced a quasiparticle known as a polariton. The shape of the ridges then constrained the polariton’s motion, forcing it into a supersolid ...

that have the ability to switch up patterns in a way a Christmas light show might - with up to 60 variations of design available to the wearer. The garments, mostly black when not lit up ...

A small international team of nanotechnologists, engineers and physicists has developed a way to force laser light into becoming a supersolid. Their paper is published in the journal Nature.

An odd solid that can flow like a fluid has been created from light for the first time. Studying it will help researchers better understand exotic quantum states of matter. “We actually made lig ...
