An advance from Monash University could pave the way for faster, smaller, and more energy-efficient lasers and other ...

The family science fiction film "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" (1989) was followed by two sequel films, "Honey, I Blew Up the Kid ...

Fusion researchers are now firing energy bursts so brief that they make a human blink look leisurely. In the latest experiments, a single pulse that lasts a tiny fraction of a second is being used to ...

Laser-based red-light therapy for myopia may pose retinal risks, as irradiance levels reach ANSI safety limits well before treatment ends.

Researchers have built a paper-thin chip that converts infrared light into visible light and directs it precisely, all without mechanical motion. The design overcomes a long-standing efficiency-versus ...

The next frontier in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology is all about keeping these aircraft fueled indefinitely. If we ...

One of the most widely used safety requirements in working environments, laboratories, workshops, and factories is eye ...

The review discusses innovations in quartz-enhanced laser spectroscopy, emphasizing QEPAS and LITES for improved sensitivity in trace gas sensing technologies.

A new light-based breakthrough could help quantum computers finally scale up. Stanford researchers created miniature optical cavities that efficiently collect light from individual atoms, allowing ...

According to new research from Rice University, while Edison’s goal was simply to create a longer-lasting electric lamp, the ...

The fusion of biophotonics and AI is transforming healthcare, enhancing diagnostics and treatment with advanced light-based ...

Adding zinc ions to lithium niobate crystals cuts the energy needed for polarization switching by 69%, enabling visible-light programming of memristors for brain-inspired computing.
