Dinosaur footprints are not perfect snapshots of the feet that made them. AI techniques from photon science can help identify their owner.
Scientists on the African continent have made notable contributions to photonics research.
Two studies show major progress in the field of photonic microchips.
Photonic quantum computing is so back.
As more internet devices run increasingly data-heavy apps, there’s a squeeze on the wireless spectrum. High-frequency terahertz waves could ease the crunch with the help of chips that control the beams.
After decades of hype, quantum computers are on the verge of becoming useful. Here’s a refresher on why they’re such a big deal
A small add-on to existing gravitational wave detectors could reveal what happens to matter as it becomes a black hole, a process like the big bang in reverse.
An optical sensor that can detect individual molecules promises early detection of diseases and environmental contamination.
Gold can be used to make jewelry, but also to fight cancer. Several clinical trials are currently underway in the United States where patients are being treated with gold nanoparticles.
As electronic transistors get tinier, they approach a point at which they won’t be able to get smaller. How can we keep shrinking our devices, and making them more powerful at the same time? Light.
Nanophotonics deals with photons at the nanometre scale, and it’s set to transform everything from internet speeds to turning your smartphone into a portable science lab.
To see around a corner, all you need is a camera that can detect light at 100,000 billionths of a second.
Using fluorescent dye, researchers figured out how to turn cells into lasers – with applications for cell tagging and tracking as well as medical diagnoses and therapies.
The concept of “digital metamaterials” – a simple way of designing metamaterials with bizarre optical properties that could hasten the development of devices such as invisibility cloaks and superlenses…
In a major step forward for the field of optical communications technology, an international team at the University of Sydney…
When scientists look for keys to unlock problems such as quantum teleportation or faster internet speeds, answers can sometimes be found in the natural world. Controlling light at the nanoscale is necessary…
Researchers have developed the world’s fastest random number generator by ‘listening’ to the continuous quantum fluctuations…
