Boyle received the Nobel for physics Thursday, a prize he's sharing with two other physicists honoured for their work in optics. Boyle, 85, shares the award with George E. Smith and Charles Kao for ...

Researchers have developed, for the first time in the world, incoherent dielectric tensor tomography (iDTT), a technology ...

Scientists have created tiny “optical tornadoes” — swirling beams of light that twist like miniature whirlwinds — using a ...

In the increasingly digital world, the demand for faster, more efficient and miniaturized optical devices is ever-growing.

Konstantin Vodopyanov, a professor at the College of Sciences and CREOL, the College of Optics and Photonics, recently co-authored a study published in the journal Optica. This research examines ...

From integrated photonics to quantum information science, the ability to control light with electric fields -- a phenomenon known as the electro-optic effect -- supports vital applications such as ...

Ultrathin structures that can bend, focus, or filter light, "metasurfaces" are reshaping how scientists think about optics. These engineered materials offer precise control over light's behavior, but ...

In this Physics World Focus on Optics & Photonics you’ll find an interview with the healthcare photonics lead at the UK’s Centre for Process Innovation, and a report on a pan-European effort to ...

Imagine a world without internet, email, streaming services or social media. Imagine having to write letters or call everyone on a rotary dial phone to communicate. Imagine having to drive to a store ...

Our solution combines several fields of physics, from quantum mechanics, through materials engineering, to optics and solid-state physics,” explains Prof. Jacek Szczytko from the Faculty of Physics at ...
