A tunable metasurface can control optical light in space and time, offering a path toward new ways of wirelessly and securely transmitting large amounts of data both on Earth and in space. It is a ...

Focused laser-like light that covers a wide range of frequencies is highly desirable for many scientific studies and for many applications, for instance, quality control of manufacturing semiconductor ...

Every wireless router in a home or office broadcasts the same fundamental type of energy that a ceiling light emits. The ...

A new metasurface design lets light of different spins bend, focus, and behave independently—while staying sharp across many colors. The trick combines two geometric phase effects so each spin channel ...

Images captured in low light conditions suffer from low visibility, blurred details and strong noise, resulting in unpleasant visual appearance and poor performance of high level visual tasks. To ...

Producing coherent (or laser like) soft X-ray beams in a lab-scale setup represents a many decades-long challenge. Scientists in physics, chemistry, and materials science can use soft X-ray light to ...
