Somewhere inside a shore-based lab in Southern California, a laser turret sat bolted to a test stand, cycling through ...

Optical fibers were proposed for long-distance communications about six decades ago. Soon, researchers discovered that optical fibers could also be ...

Researchers have developed a new optical sensor that provides a simple way to achieve real-time detection of extremely low levels of arsenic in water. Researchers have developed a new optical sensor ...

Designing surfaces that precisely control how light behaves at the nanoscale is tricky. Optical Fourier surfaces, which are ...

In the pursuit of clean and renewable energy, hydrogen plays an important role. But a major challenge facing this transition is that the gas is explosive when mixed with air. For this reason, it is ...

Successful flight trials done for the Australian Defence Force (ADF) across multi-domains prove the utility of AI-enabled, persistent, wide-area motion imagery for long-range surveillance at a greater ...

For decades, people with diabetes have relied on finger pricks to withdraw blood or adhesive microneedles to measure and manage their glucose levels. In addition to being painful, these methods can ...

Ocean-borne phytoplankton collectively absorb almost as much carbon dioxide as all the trees and land plants on Earth. Besides giving seawater a greenish tinge, the plankton have a significant impact ...
