Integrated photonic devices—tiny circuits that use light instead of electrons—are becoming increasingly important for ...

In a significant advance for the growing field of synthetic biology, bioengineers have created a toolkit of genes and hardware that uses colored lights and engineered bacteria to bring both ...

Scientists have created a programmable optical chip that can slow light on demand, giving engineers far greater control over ...

New technology enables light to be stored, delayed, and controlled within a single photonic chip, with potential applications ...

Just as optical fibers have replaced most electrical wires for long-distance telecommunications, light-based circuits may replace electrical ones in applications involving vast flows of data within ...

Seoul National University College of Engineering announced that a joint research team led by Professor Namkyoo Park and ...

Redefining the repeating pattern in photonic crystals creates tightly confined pathways for light while preserving symmetry, offering a simple route to ultracompact and low loss light circuits.

An curved arrow pointing right. Following is a transcript of the video. Narrator: Have you ever wondered how these bands of lights come together? It's a simple string of miniature light bulbs, with ...

Here is an interesting circuit of a true-portable and cute solid-state bright light built with LT1932. The light can be operated from two AA size dry/rechargeable pen-light cells. There is no housing ...

Optical waveguides are structures that guide and confine light within a small cross-sectional area. In nanophotonic circuits, waveguides are typically fabricated using high-refractive-index materials ...

According to the most recent data from the World Bank, 15 percent of the world’s population—approximately 1.1 billion people—lacked access to electricity in 2014. In 1994, approximately 27 percent of ...
