Researchers at Texas A&M University have demonstrated 'metajets'—microscopic devices propelled and steered in three dimensions by laser light. Built from nanoscale metasurfaces, the devices embed ...

Alpha Centauri sits more than four light-years away, close enough to fascinate generations of dreamers and far enough to make ...

From ultrafast photodetectors to multifunctional flat lenses, metasurfaces are redefining how we manipulate light. These nanostructured surfaces pack powerful optical functions into ultra-thin forms, ...

You will be redirected to our submission process. The quest for more efficient, compact, and intelligent optical systems for computing and communications has catalyzed a convergence of two ...

Have you ever wished to drive microscopic matter along an arbitrarily tailored trajectory instead of just a circle? That's ...

A research team has demonstrated the first nonlinear metasurface with engineered nonlocality, that simultaneously delivers high‑Q resonance enhancement and pixel‑level control of the wavefront of ...

Layered metasurfaces trained as optical neural networks enable multifunctional holograms and security features, integrating neural computation principles with nanostructured optics to create a ...

Huygens antennas exploit electric-magnetic field coupling for directional, low-loss radiation, driving advances in communications, sensing, and nanophotonics. First, you have your simple antennas – ...

Researchers built a fingernail-sized magnetometer using metasurfaces that measures fields billions of times weaker than Earth's, opening new paths for quantum sensing. At the heart of the sensor is an ...

In the race toward practical quantum computers and networks, photons—fundamental particles of light—hold intriguing possibilities as fast carriers of information at room temperature. Photons are ...
