The method involves stitching together many thin “slices” of light reflecting off an object.

CU Boulder researchers have designed microscopic “racetracks” that trap and amplify light with exceptional efficiency. By using smooth curves inspired by highway engineering, they reduced energy loss ...

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 ...

Scientists in Korea are developing a comfortable light therapy hat that they hope will help with hair loss and growth. In lab experiments, the invention's finely tuned system suppressed age-associated ...

A new perspective article outlines a roadmap for harnessing light emission from individual molecules. By precisely controlling currents through a single molecule, researchers can generate light with ...
