Zoe Kleinmann and a student make a pattern of light with translucent cups. Zoe Kleinmann and a student explore patterns. First they create units of two connected plastic cubes to create an AB pattern.

A new optical device allows researchers to generate and switch between two stable, donut-shaped light patterns called skyrmions. These light vortices hold their shape even when disturbed, making them ...

In a recent article published in Nature communications*, researchers described a technique of capturing two-dimensional (2D) light patterns into deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and using high-throughput ...

NTT’s research division has developed what it claims to be the world’s first programmable nonlinear photonic waveguide capable of switching between multiple nonlinear-optical functions on a single ...

We all have to-do lists, and sometimes working through them takes longer than we expect.  Roughly 15 years ago, I was working on a lot of large-scale building projections and featured some of them in ...
