Light can be sculpted into countless shapes. Yet building optical devices that can simultaneously manipulate many different ...

A new chip-based quantum memory uses 3D-printed “light cages” to store light in atomic vapor with high precision. Quantum ...

Controlling light is an important technological challenge—not just at the large scale of optics in microscopes and telescopes ...

Optical computing has emerged as a powerful approach for high-speed and energy-efficient information processing. Diffractive ...

A tiny optical device built into a silicon chip has achieved the slowest light propagation on a chip to date, reducing the speed of light by a factor of 1,200 in a study reported in Nature Photonics ...

Imagine shrinking light down to the size of a tiny water molecule, unlocking a world of quantum possibilities. This has been a long-held dream in the realms of light science and technology. Recent ...

However, achieving three-dimensional confinement of light in a way that allows for precise control and manipulation has remained a challenging frontier. Previous attempts have often been limited to ...

Why not take the same strands of light that already power the world’s fiber-optic cables and let them travel freely through ...
