Terms such as computer chip, machine and deep learning are now part of everyday vocabulary in a world where global connectivity, automation and seamless access to information are taken for granted.

(Nanowerk News) Silicon, the cornerstone of modern electronics, photovoltaics, and photonics, has traditionally been limited to surface-level nanofabrication due to the challenges posed by existing ...

In most filled plastics, mismatches between micron-scale particles and refractive index can cause strong scattering. This shows up on a macroscopic scale as haze and loss of transmittance. When you ...

Increasingly complex applications such as artificial intelligence require ever more powerful and power-hungry computers to run. Optical computing is a proposed solution to increase speed and power ...

Just as an antenna interacts with radio waves, light interacts with metallic nanostructures. Therefore, understanding how a structure influences field oscillations provides valuable insights into the ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — A new imaging technique that uses electron diffraction waves to improve both image resolution and sensitivity to small structures has been developed by scientists at the University ...

Coherent Corp. has launched its Ultrabroadband UV-VIS and VIS-NIR Diffraction Gratings, setting a new benchmark in optical performance for life science and medical applications. These advanced optics ...

A research team from Xi’an Jiaotong University, led by Xuesong Mei and Jianlei Cui, has made major strides in the field of nanotechnology, according to a recent study published in Engineering.

Nano-optics, by bridging the gap between classical optics and nanotechnology, explores light at dimensions smaller than its wavelength. It leverages phenomena like plasmonics, near-field optics, and ...
