To improve photonic and electronic circuitry used in semiconductor chips and fiber optic systems, researchers at the McKelvey ...

My telescope, set up for astrophotography in my light-polluted San Diego backyard, was pointed at a galaxy unfathomably far ...

Physicists convert beams of light into frictionless supersolid, first step toward advanced quantum materials and future ...

In an era demanding ever-smaller, more efficient, and higher-performing light sources, particularly in the short-wave ...

Light is all around us, essential for one of our primary senses (sight) as well as life on Earth itself. It underpins many ...

Tiny carbon tubes beam out stronger light by stealing a boost from internal vibrations—a discovery that could revolutionize ...

The idea was first hypothesized about 70 years ago. In a bizarre repercussion of Albert Einstein's Special Theory of ...

University of Calgary researchers have discovered that all living organisms emit extremely faint light undetectable to the ...

But that trend is now faltering because of the increased cost and complexity of manufacturing chips, as well as performance limits set by the laws of physics. This is happening just as there's a need ...
