A 60-year study covering 205 countries and regions worldwide has systematically uncovered the evolutionary patterns of ...

Researchers have built a new platform that produces ultrashort UV-C laser pulses and detects them at room temperature using ...

Light can be sculpted into countless shapes. Yet building optical devices that can simultaneously manipulate many different ...

A new chip-based quantum memory uses nanoprinted “light cages” to trap light inside atomic vapor, enabling fast, reliable ...

Scientists have turned a long-standing sci‑fi idea into working hardware, using pure light to move data wirelessly through the air instead of relying on radio waves or copper traces. The result is a ...

Advanced aliens could be chatting with each other using light flashes in plain sight, similar to how fireflies communicate, ...

Li-Fi is a wireless data system remarkably similar to Wi-Fi, but uses light to send information. Data rates can hit a gigabit ...

Researchers have developed a low-cost visible light communication (VLC) system using commercially available hardware that enables stable data transmission even under strong ambient light. By ...

Instead of superconducting circuits cooled to near absolute zero, photonic systems use light particles as qubits.

Scientists have developed a groundbreaking on-chip quantum memory platform using 3D-nanoprinted hollow-core waveguides called ...

Why not take the same strands of light that already power the world’s fiber-optic cables and let them travel freely through ...
