Optical tweezers, first demonstrated in the 1980s and awarded the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics, use highly focused beams of ...

Scientists were able to use the data from a fiber optic cable and a sensitive measuring device to “image” the Mendocino ...

An optical illusion is a visual phenomenon where our perception of an image differs from objective reality. This image is ...

Cold atom experiments trap atoms to probe quantum effects, enabling ultra-precise sensing, timekeeping, and monitoring of ...

Some things we see in space appear to outpace light. Now we are learning to harness these bizarre optical illusions to ...

Understanding diffraction and dispersion is key to optical science, influencing technologies like spectroscopy, fiber optics, ...

The AR glasses optical waveguide system consists of a display and an optical lens that uses TIR principles to transport light ...

OS 26's new Liquid Glass interface has been criticized for making some content illegible in certain circumstances, and now ...

Abstract: We investigate the emergence of effective optical gauge field in biaxial anisotropic Fabry-Pérot cavities due to the coupling between waveguide modes. The intrinsic material anisotropy can ...

There are three main types of optical illusion: literal, cognitive, and physiological. Literal illusions are the result of combining smaller images to create one larger image. These are often created ...

TIFF: Tasha Van Zandt's film about pioneering oceanographer and bioluminescence obsessive Dr. Edith Widder feels a little by-the-book, but that only allows its subject to really shine. Van Zandt ...

PORTLAND, Maine — An hour before kickoff, Gabe Hoffman-Johnson is finding it tough to make much progress on a lap around Fitzpatrick Stadium. The founder seems to know (and be known by) every person ...
