A research team has successfully implemented a programmable spinor lattice on a photonic integrated circuit (PIC). This platform enables the realization of non-Abelian physics, in which the outcome of ...

Consumers already love light controls because they save energy and money by automatically turning lights on at dusk and off at dawn. Now Westek has something new to add to the equation. Its new "green ...

A new optical device allows researchers to generate and switch between two stable, donut-shaped light patterns called ...

Light of a certain wavelength can be used to put so-called active materials into motion and control their movement. In the future, this discovery can become significant in widely different areas such ...

A research team from Jilin University has developed a solar-powered floating robot that purifies water and autonomously navigates on its surface, offering a new strategy for smart, energy-free water ...

Fluorogenic DNA aptamers produce light only in the correct structural state, enabling programmable molecular logic, biosensing, DNA origami integrity reporting, and reusable mRNA detection through ...
