Researchers have developed a novel material using tiny organic crystals that convert light into a substantial mechanical force able to lift 1,000 times its own mass. Without the need for heat or ...
In a lab at Osaka University, physicist Yoshiki Nakata and his colleagues fired a pulsed laser through a stack of three ...
The latest research in ACS Applied Energy Materials has shown that vertically aligned silicon nanowire (VA-SiNW) arrays are capable of massively increasing light absorption and causing a significant ...
Optical vortices—light beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM)—are characterized by helical wavefronts and phase ...
Light enters a two-dimensional ring-resonator array from the lower left and exits at the lower right. Light that follows the edge of the array (blue) does not suffer energy loss and exits after a ...
