Advancements in structured illumination and computational imaging are revolutionizing semiconductor wafer inspection, ...

The growing demand for compact, high-performance optical systems has sparked interest in free-form optics. Free-form optics enable flexible light manipulation and compact device design. However, ...

Have you ever wished to drive microscopic matter along an arbitrarily tailored trajectory instead of just a circle? That's ...

Large-aperture interferometers are important in the manufacturing and measurement of large-aperture optical elements, which play critical roles in the fields of optical precision manufacturing and ...

Researchers have developed a new microscopy method that uses a magnetic field and polarized light to provide quantitative measurements that could enable faster and more objective detection of malaria ...

Researchers at the University of Adelaide, as part of an international team, have developed an approach that makes advanced microscopy possible through an optical fiber thinner than a human hair.

Light has always carried more than brightness. In this case, it also carries direction and twist. That mix may open a new ...

Artificial intelligence grows more demanding every year. Modern models learn and operate by pushing huge volumes of data through repeated matrix operations that sit at the heart of every neural ...

Bright background light can do more than clutter a quantum experiment. It can wash out the very features that make quantum systems useful in the first place. That is the problem a team at the Institut ...

Modern life depends on fast and reliable wireless connections. Video calls, streaming services, virtual reality, and smart devices all place growing demands on networks that already serve billions of ...
