Rail-like Waveguides Simplify Miniaturizing Photonic Components On Silicon Wafers
High-speed optical circuits and sensors generally require strict control over light polarization to minimize loss and cross-talk in photonic devices such as waveguides. An A*STAR team now predicts that noise...

Flat Nanostructured Surface Manipulate Light To Appear Three-dimensional
Scientists have developed new 2D nanostructured surfaces that reflect light in such a way that they appear three-dimensional, conveying both shade and shadows. The surfaces can already be used for...

Lab Develops Way To Spot Defects Inside Hard-to-Image Materials
It’s hard to get an X-ray image of low-density material like tissue between bones because X-rays just pass right through like sunlight through a window. But what if you need...
