Physicists present a nanometer-sized light antenna with electrically modulated surface properties -- a breakthrough that could pave the way for faster computer chips. Physicists from Würzburg present ...

The application of modulated UV-C light to guavas—emitted in pulses or cycles rather than continuously—combated anthracnose. This fungal disease is caused by microorganisms belonging to the ...

Since graphene has a low absorption coefficient in the absorption band, researchers generally use graphene as a carrier collection layer, and look for another strong light-absorbing material as the ...

“Tailored nanostructures provide at-will control over the properties of light, with applications in imaging and spectroscopy. Active photonics can further open new avenues in remote monitoring, ...

Integrated photonics is a rapidly-evolving industry sector, with infrared spectrum applications including high-speed 5G networks, biosensors on chip, and driverless cars. Researchers are now exploring ...

TL;DR: This experiment may not revolutionize telecommunications, but it highlights how accessible these concepts have become outside traditional research labs. Using nothing more than an iPad, a solar ...

Artist's impression of an electrically contacted optical antenna (left) and the quantum mechanical distribution of its surface electrons. The normal distribution is shown in yellow, while the change ...
