Metasurfaces are sub-wavelength spaced arrays of nanostructures that enable the design of ultrathin optical components with superior aberration control and ease of optical alignment compared to...

Detection of specific biomolecules is central to modern biology and to medical diagnostics, where identification of a particular disease is based on biomarker identification. Many detection methods...

Spectroscopy employs photonic tools to ascertain certain characteristics of matter. The ever-increasing push towards studying matter within application spaces demanding low size, weight, power, and...

A novel new form of ultraviolet microscopy has been developed, called metabolic light absorption, scattering, and emission (Meta-LASE) microscopy, which enables the simultaneous imaging of optical...

-Higgs Boson -Micro-Endoscope -AFM-IR On today’s show, evidence grows for the Higgs boson discovery; a single-fiber endoscope prototype is as small as a human hair; electronic chips heal themselves...

For all their precision of movement, we can't always count on robots to handle objects with care. But fiber optic sensors could give machines a more human sense of touch. See how – this month on...

-Plasmonics & Microfluidics -Liquid Crystal Slows Light -Prism Awards Deadline On today’s show: plasmonics and microfluidics are combined in a tunable lens, a liquid crystal matrix slows light to one...

What if you could tell before the ash starts to billow when a volcano is about to erupt? Lasers may offer a way. We'll show you this week on Light Matters.
