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 ...

Nuclear magnetic resonance –based co-magnetometers are essential tools for applications ranging from inertial navigation to ...

Pushing the limits of structured light, applied physicists report a new type of optical vortex beam that not only twists as it travels but also changes in different parts at different rates to create ...

Researchers from McMaster University and the University of Pittsburgh have created the first functionally complete logic gate—a NAND gate (short for "NOT AND")—in a soft material using only beams of ...

An intriguing astronomical discovery has recently come to light, revealing a beam of energy that is directed towards our planet. This beam, its origins, and potential implications for Earth present a ...
