5+ day, 23+ hour ago   (233+ words) Imagine electronics you can reprogram simply by shining a light on them. Researchers have created ultra-thin “smart” materials that do just that, a breakthrough that could lead to adaptable sensors, smarter cameras, and brain-inspired computers. Introduced in ScienceAdvances, the new…...

6+ day, 23+ hour ago   (221+ words) The KLA Tencor® P-7, P-17, P-170, HRP®-260 and Zeta™-388 profilers provide the capability to measure these critical waveguide features, from long-range topographic scans to high-resolution measurements of individual waveguides and coupler structures. Figure 2 shows a 7 mm scan acquired using the…...

1+ week, 4+ day ago   (670+ words) To address the challenges associated with detecting manipulated satellite imagery, researchers have developed a novel multi-scale framework based on optical scanning holography (OSH). Their developments, published in Scientific Reports, focus on the critical role of optical signal processing to enhance…...

1+ week, 6+ day ago   (670+ words) Understanding how neural networks operate across the brain requires imaging electrical activity with both high temporal resolution and broad spatial coverage. To advance this field, a recent study published in the journal Nature Methods introduced a remote-scanning light-sheet microscope that…...

2+ week, 5+ day ago   (114+ words) AZoOptics The stories of Nathalie Blanchard and Anne-Sophie Poulin-Girard carry a message that goes beyond professional achievement. Both are women who have built outstanding careers in a highly technical field – and both are actively working to open doors for the…...

3+ week, 16+ min ago   (570+ words) Wormholes are theoretical structures that connect distant regions of spacetime and provide an interesting setting for studying general relativity. Many traversable wormhole models require exotic matter to remain stable, extending ideas first associated with the Einstein–Rosen bridge. In lower-dimensional…...
