The innovation could be a game-changer for communication technologies, such as phones and internet connections. A team from UCF has developed the world’s first optical…
A metasurface made of arsenic trisulfide nanowires (yellow) transmit an incoming near-infrared frequency (red) as well as its third harmonic ultraviolet frequency (violet), which would…
Detecting light beyond the visible red range of our eyes is hard to do, because infrared light carries so little energy compared to ambient heat…
A relatively simple quantum computer design that uses a single atomAn atom is the smallest component of an element. It is made up of protons…
The sensitizer molecules (green) absorb low energy photons (long-wavelength light) and become excited into triplet states. These triplet states are then transferred to nearby annihilator…
MIT chemists have come up with a way to control the unwanted blinking of quantum dots, depicted here as yellow spheres, without requiring any modification…
A superconducting silicon chip is used as an untrusted relay server for secure quantum communication. By harnessing the unique low-dead-time feature of the waveguide integrated…
Illustration of a system that produces the first optical lattice with sound. Light is pumped in through three sources – including via a digital mirror…
It is difficult to generate coherent visible light, like the light of a laser, that is intense for a short amount of time. An international…
Researchers in the lab of Qiang Lin at the University of Rochester have generated record ‘ultrabroadband’ bandwidth of entangled photons using the thin-film nanophotonic device…
A new method of quantum dot fabrication has been demonstrated by making use of intrinsic defects in LED materials. Through the formation of pyramids, localized…
Thanks to a new breakthrough that uses a specialized material only three atoms thick, scientists can control light more precisely than ever before. Credit: Caltech…
