Recently, a remarkable discovery has been made. Ancient Chinese scrolls, well-preserved and steeped in history, are shedding new light on our understanding of optics. These ancient texts suggest an ...

Any project, supported or not by a committee, that is currently being worked on or is considered active, and will have an end date. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will ...

The SPIE Emerging Innovators in Optical Science and Engineering Scholarships will support two PhD students in the university’s Optical Science and Engineering program SPIE, the international society ...

The role of light in our lives is both pervasive and primordial. Ultraviolet light probably had a role in the very origins of life, and light-driven photosynthesis underlies all but the most primitive ...

In this review, we delve into the fundamentals and recent breakthroughs in the realm of optical micro/nano manipulation using optical torques. CHENGDU, SICHUAN, CHINA ...

A research group has discovered significant nonreciprocal optical absorption of LiNiPO4, referred to as the optical diode effect, in which divalent nickel (Ni2+) ions are responsible for magnetism, by ...
