Scientists in Germany have crafted “skyrmion bags” of light—complex vortex-like structures—on the surface of gold by cleverly ...

Scientists have created a new platform called 'Oz' that uses laser light to control up to 1,000 photoreceptors in the eye at once. Using Oz, the researchers showed people images, videos and a new, ...

Concentrating light in a volume as small as the wavelength itself is a challenge that is crucial for numerous applications.

The detection of dark matter, the elusive type of matter predicted to make up most of the universe's mass, is a long-standing ...

Draw geometric shapes using mirrors and reflected laser light. Improve your aim—and practice spatial reasoning—by bouncing laser light off a series of mirrors. Learn about geometry and discover the ...

These metrics are regularly updated to reflect usage leading up to the last few days ... Coupling phase-stable single-cycle terahertz (THz) pulses to scanning tunneling microscope (STM) junctions ...

Researchers have created a bilayer metasurface made of two stacked layers of titanium dioxide nanostructures, opening new possibilities for structuring light ... Under a microscope, the new ...

And while you can spend hundreds of dollars on supremely accurate light meters that professionals still use in the studio, such as the Sekonic L-308X Flashmate, which can measure reflected, incident, ...

Taking inspiration from the field of neuroscience, Anthropic said it was able to build a kind of AI microscope that “let us identify ... the second report sheds light on what exactly happens within ...
