An ultra-fast and ultra-small optical switch has been invented that could advance the day when photons replace electrons in the innards of consumer products ranging from cell phones to autom... Read more
Optical data storage does not require expensive magnetic materials as synthetic alternatives work just as well. This is the finding of an international team from York, Berlin and Nijmegen, p... Read more
“This is a quite remarkable spatial resolution.” Researchers have created tiny holograms using a “metasurface” capable of the ultra-efficient control of light, repres... Read more
ICFO scientists have shown that a nano-size diamond at room temperature can act as an efficient optical switch controllable with light A recent study led by researchers of the ICFO (Institut... Read more
Computer networking researchers at Rice University have a new idea for how to handle the mountains of data piling up in the labs of their fellow scientists around campus: Create a customized... Read more
“We see a future where ‘consumer electronics’ become ‘consumer photonics’ Computers may be getting faster every year, but those advances in computer speed could be dwarfed if their 1’s and 0... Read more
