Researchers at a Scottish university say they have made a discovery that marks a new era in photonic, or light, technology.

This standard emphasizes student understanding of wave properties. In learning about the parts of a wave, students will learn about wavelength and use their understanding to observe how visible light ...

Chemists are investigating the bizarre properties of certain materials that could be used to develop oxygen safety systems ...

A research group at the University of Stuttgart has manipulated light through its interaction with a metal surface so that it ...

Researchers in optics and brain and cognitive science are investigating whether neurons can transmit light in a manner ...

Optics and photonics is the study of the fundamental properties of light and harnessing them in practical applications. Optics and photonics covers the entire electromagnetic spectrum from high ...

By harnessing the ability to control symmetry in these quantum dots, scientists can tailor the materials to have specific light and electricity-related properties. This research opens up new ...
