Solar Takes Flight
JUSTINE MURPHY, SENIOR EDITOR
Nelson Mandela once said, “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” These words ring true for Solar Impulse, a program “born in Switzerland” that aims to demonstrate the power of clean technologies — sometimes in dramatic fashion. The program’s Solar Impulse 2 (Si2) aircraft...

Life in the Ultrafast Lane with Fiber Lasers
For lasers, shorter pulses mean more precision and new applications. That’s been true for decades. What’s changed in the last few years is that prices for lasers with pulse widths a picosecond or less are dropping significantly. The price plunge has been pushed along by ultrafast fiber lasers, which are less...

Metasurface Encodes IR Images
Irregular metasurfaces can be made to encode multiple images at IR frequencies in much the same way as the pixels in a television screen can form a visible-light image. This was demonstrated with an array of subwavelength metal-insulator-metal (MIM) resonators that revealed different letters and even a famous painting...
