A tunable metasurface can control optical light in space and time, offering a path toward new ways of wirelessly and securely transmitting large amounts of data both on Earth and in space. It is a ...
Researchers have created a bilayer metasurface made of two stacked layers of titanium dioxide nanostructures, opening new possibilities for structuring light. Almost a decade ago, Harvard engineers ...
A nanoscale optical device has been developed that allows independent control over the intensity and phase of light. By applying voltage, this innovative device can freely manipulate the phase and ...
Attitude Determination and Control Systems (ADCS) are key to maintaining the precise orientation of CubeSats, microsatellites, and other small satellite platforms. High-fidelity optical subsystems, ...
Engineers built a nanoscale optical device that uses voltage to control light's phase and intensity, advancing quantum communication and compact optical technologies. The device, developed by ...
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 ...
Machine vision systems are becoming increasingly common across multiple industries. Manufacturers use them to streamline quality control, self-driving vehicles implement them to navigate, and robots ...
A tiny optical booster built directly onto a chip is pointing toward a future where light, not just electricity, does the heavy lifting inside our computers. By cranking up light signals roughly 100 ...
