Researchers from the Southern University of Science and Technology, reporting on November 28, 2025, in Microsystems & Nanoengineering, describe a new optoelectrowetting-based droplet dispensing system ...

Optical illusions are designed in such a manner that they serve more than an entertainment source. These puzzles are also ...

Vision, microscopy, imaging, optical data projection and storage all depend on focusing of light. Dynamic focusing is conventionally achieved with mechanically reconfigurable lenses, spatial light ...

Image showing gold contacts where we bias each laser with DC current. Light is out-coupled from the racetracks using the directional-coupler waveguides along the straight section of either racetrack.

Scientists built a light powered AI prototype that matches chip accuracy while using less energy and producing less heat.

The patterns of light hold tremendous promise for a large encoding alphabet in optical communications, but progress is hindered by their susceptibility to distortion, such as in atmospheric turbulence ...

Researchers from the University of Southampton (UK), and the Institut d'Optique in Bordeaux (France) have devised a new approach for controlling light in a silicon chip by bringing the concept of ...

An optical illusion is a visual phenomenon where the brain misinterprets what the eyes perceive, creating a false or misleading impression of reality. This occurs because the brain processes visual ...
