Physicists in China have demonstrated that a structure called an optical metasurface can individually trap up to 78,400 neutral atoms – a promising development in efforts to build a large-scale ...

Silicon nanotube arrays deliver functional mRNA into human pluripotent stem cells for the first time, achieving up to 64% transfection without compromising stem cell identity.

In a new study, MIT researchers and collaborators unveiled a new way to connect chips directly to the outside world using light. They have introduced a new solution, nicknamed “photonic ski‑jump”: a ...

A 3D-printed piezoelectric metamaterial uses topology-driven charge transport to locate underwater sound sources from a single compact transducer, replacing bulky hydrophone arrays.

The VCSEL is an indispensable source in modern optoelectronics, where it is valued for its high beam quality, low threshold current, and compatibility with wafer-level processing.

A new class of photonic devices enables the precise broadcasting of light from the chip into free space in a scalable way, which could lead to advanced displays, high-speed optical communications, and ...

A new class of photonic chips that use light instead of electricity to process data features arrays of microscopic structures that curl upward like tiny, glowing ski jumps. Researchers can precisely ...

The Sölden ski lift company has deployed several vertical PV systems on the Tiefenbach glacier in the Ötztal Valley, Austria, at an altitude of 2,850 meters. The systems are based on cross structures.
