A team at Stanford has demonstrated a silicon-based device that generates twisted light and uses it to control quantum-relevant optical states at room temperature, eliminating the need for the ...

Light that twists as it travels and materials whose internal order is knotted like a pretzel are starting to collide in the lab, and the result is a new class of strange, topological effects. Instead ...

Be it sensors, cameras, or displays: Metasurfaces have the potential to fundamentally improve optical systems in our everyday lives. By controlling light more precisely, they drive compact, ...

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 ...

GOTHENBURG, Sweden, Jan. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Heliospectra AB, a world leader in innovative smart horticultural lighting and dynamic light control systems, proudly marks the 10th anniversary of ...

A global review of advancements in integrating metasurfaces—thin planar arrays of nanostructures—into optoelectronic devices highlights their potential to transform technologies such as light emitting ...

Lighting accounts for almost 8% of the world’s energy usage. It makes up around 10-20% of domestic energy bills, with an even higher proportion in commercial premises like offices. But it still has ...
