When light passes through materials, it typically changes direction and bends in predictable ways. This change in direction, ...

(Nanowerk News) This will potentially allow them to create more compact and efficient elements for lasers, sensors, and optical chips. Moreover, it proves the hypothesis that ITMO physicists had about ...

Toyohashi University of Technology researchers in collaboration with Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), have developed a new material capable of retaining high transmissivity after thermal ...

A property of a material that changes the speed of light, computed as the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light through the material. When light travels at an angle between two ...

Microscopic crystals in tantalum disulfide have a starring role in what could become a hit for 3D displays, virtual reality and even self-driving vehicles. Microscopic crystals in tantalum disulfide ...

(Nanowerk News) Vacuum Rabi splitting is a fundamental quantum phenomenon, and the implementation of solid-state single-oscillator vacuum Rabi splitting will lead to true strong coupling. A cavity can ...
