Matter Wave Collapses and Revives

Researchers from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland have developed a metasurface-based device that produces multiple distinct holographic images depending on the surrounding medium and the...

University of Rochester researchers have found that the use of a metal substrate can boost the photoelectric conversion efficiency of perovskites. Perovskites, a family of crystalline materials, have...

Researchers at New York University (NYU) have devised a system of asynchronous, optically driven micro-rotors that could be used to study far-from-equilibrium phenomena such as turbulent weather and...

Researchers from the University of Oxford have developed a method using the polarization of light to maximize information storage density and computing performance using nanowires. Similar to how...

In general, there are three common approaches to reducing mechanical excitation of photonic systems. The first is identifying the sources of vibration and implementing ways to eliminate or reduce...

Members of the Capasso Group at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have successfully encoded multiple holographic images in a metasurface. The separate...

Jim Kafka, Newport Corporation, USA, recounts his memory of joining The Optical Society as a college student.

In this month's Light Matters Extra, we give you an in-depth look at the relationship between researchers and scientists at the University of California Davis, and surgeons and clinicians at nearby...

Grover Swartzlander, Rochester Institute of Technology, USA, recalls childhood memories experimenting with light.
