Optical engineering is a field that thrives on precision and creativity. It requires scientists to design systems that push the limits of what is physically possible. Tilman W. Stuhlinger, PhD, has ...

Time-varying systems, materials with properties that change over time, have opened new possibilities for the experimental manipulation of waves. Contrarily to static systems, which exhibit the same ...

Scientists at OIST have, for the first time, directly tracked the elusive “dark excitons” inside atomically thin materials. These quantum particles could revolutionize information technology, as they ...

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluorine-based polymer with a wide range of applications, including non-stick cookware production and electrical and optical fiber cable coating, owing to ...

Affective polarization is dramatically influencing the field of political science, altering how modern democracies function and shaping societal cohesion.

A new experiment confirms that angular momentum conservation holds even when a single photon is split into two.

At a time when “post-truth” has been sanctioned as the 2016 word of the year, scientists need to do a better job of talking about their work, said a University of Wisconsin-Madison professor who ...

OCT uses low-coherence interferometry, in which light reflected from internal microstructures is compared to a reference arm. This method enables depth-resolved imaging with axial resolutions ranging ...
