Researchers have built a microscopic 3D-printed optical device that funnels light from 37 separate multimode semiconductor lasers into a single optical fiber, merging 222 distinct spatial modes; the ...

Using a phenomenon called "negative light," scientists invisibly transferred data disguised as background thermal radiation.

The Galaxy S26 Ultra is the most comfortable Ultra I've used in many years of reviewing this phone line. Previous generations have resembled bricks, with sharp, blocky corners and right angles ...

Imagine a night sky where satellites, saddled with huge mirrors reflecting sunlight, shine like artificial moons. A startup in Los Angeles County is awaiting regulatory clearance to make that dream a ...

Engineers demonstrated a new photonic lantern capable of multiplexing 7, 19, and 37 VCSEL lasers into a single multimode ...

Photonic chips use light to process data instead of electricity, enabling faster communication speeds and greater bandwidth.

Harvard engineers have built a chip-scale, twisted bilayer photonic crystal whose twist angle and spacing can be dynamically adjusted with a MEMS actuator to tune the chirality of light.

The $100,000, two-year award will engage students in undergraduate molecular research that may lead to pollutant capture, or ...

Astrolight CEO Laurynas Mačiulis explains how laser satellite communication could ease spectrum congestion, increase data capacity, and raise new engineering and policy questions for space ...

Controlling light with light is a long-sought goal for computing and communication technologies. Achieving this capability ...

Engineers at UNSW Sydney and Monash have developed an innovative way of sending hidden information that's hard to intercept.

A new room-temperature quantum device developed at Stanford uses twisted light and advanced materials to link photons and ...
