A new plasmonic fiber probe uses linearly polarized light and energy recycling for broadband nanofocusing with resolution ...

The direction in which the electromagnetic field of circularly polarized light rotates can be easily reversed by applying a ...

Researchers at Harvard University and Jiangsu University developed a technique for not only identifying infected cells, but also tracking the infection over time as the cells developed. They published ...

Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman and his student Nagendra Nath published a series of papers in 1936 on the diffraction of light by a liquid in the field of a high frequency sound wave. This was ...

Light microscopy is the only way in which we can look inside a living cell, or living tissues, in three dimensions. An electron microscope only gives a two-dimensional view, and the organic sample ...

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 ...

Generally speaking, if you want to grab sharp images of crazy fast movements such as molecular interactions or water droplets, you're going to need a super-expensive rig. Researchers have developed a ...

Did you have the same question as I did when you looked at the spectacular first light images from the $10 billion James Webb Space Telescope (JWST or “Webb” for short)? Yes, they are all incredible, ...

WASHINGTON — Capturing blur-free images of fast movements like falling water droplets or molecular interactions requires expensive ultrafast cameras that acquire millions of images per second. In a ...
