Reliably tracking and manipulating the mammalian nervous system in laboratory or clinical settings allows neuroscientists to test their hypotheses, which may in turn lead to new important discoveries.

The device can change color and behavior on demand, technology that could change consumer products like e-readers and smart ...

For the millions of people living with end‑stage kidney disease, hemodialysis is more than a medical procedure, it is a ...

When light passes through materials, it typically changes direction and bends in predictable ways. This change in direction, known as refraction, is caused by a change in the speed of light as it ...

Lithium niobate has emerged as a cornerstone material in advanced photonic technologies, owing to its exceptional electro‐optic coefficients, wide optical transparency and strong nonlinear properties.

A new "lensless" device could help, as it uses light to instantly detect harmful microorganisms. Usually, in order to check drinking water for bacteria, a sample of that water must be cultured in a ...

In the realm of general relativity, black holes are well-known for their ability to trap light and matter by bending spacetime, creating a point of no return. While black holes have fascinated ...

It may seem at times that there is a divide between the optical/photonic domain and the RF one, with the terahertz zone between them as a demarcation. If you need to make a transition between the ...
