In a new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2021.210040, Researchers led by Professor Daewook Kim from The University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ, USA consider advances in optical ...

A new telescope technology—measuring just 6 millimeters (0.24 inches) in diameter—could improve how future space missions ...

Blurry light from lens imperfections is a problem everywhere, from microscopes to telescopes to smartphone cameras. Using a ...

An object that possesses chirality, that is, having its mirror image not overlayed on itself by rotation and translation, can provide a different optical response to a left- or right-handed circular ...

A career in optical physics or engineering means knowing about the behavior and properties of light, including its interactions with matter and its detection by instruments. Since the discovery that ...

Severe fine dust pollution over Seoul and Mexico City, being composed of the same type of fine particulate matter (PM2.5), exhibits markedly different characteristics. Seoul's air tends to reflect ...

The control of magnetism via strain is most commonly based on magnetostriction. This effect relates an induced magnetization to the square of the applied stress and is restricted to systems with an ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Science; DOI 10.29026/oes.2022.220010 considers optical logic gates in future computers. If you are reading this on your smartphone, its CPU (central processing ...

Opaque to transparent: A strong laser illuminating a material in a low-temperature chamber. The laser changes the material's degree of transparency in a reversible way, without heating it. (Courtesy: ...

While 20th-century technology was defined by the growth of electronics, the 21st century belongs to photonics. LEDs will light households powered by photovoltaic panels and filled with displays and ...
