Scientists at Heriot‑Watt University have demonstrated in a world-first, that light can be used to control every aspect of how electromagnetic waves oscillate, opening new technological frontiers.

Scientists at the University of East Anglia have uncovered a hidden property of light that allows it to twist, spin and ...

Light does more than illuminate the world—it can also push and twist matter. It was back in the 1870s that James Clerk ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Light carries information in its wavelength, wavevector direction, polarization, and the way it bends through materials. Until now, optical data storage has typically used just ...

Physicists use a 350-year-old theorem that explains the workings of pendulums and planets to reveal new properties of light waves. Since the 17th century, when Isaac Newton and Christiaan Huygens ...

As fast as modern electronics have become, they could be much faster if their operations were based on light, rather than electricity. Fiber optic cables already transport information at the speed of ...

A research team has developed a platform that can control the properties of solid materials with light and measure them. A POSTECH research team led by Professor Gil-Ho Lee and Gil Young Cho ...
