As fast as modern electronics have become, they could be much faster if their operations were based on light, rather than ...

[Jure Spiler] was at a flea market and got himself a spectrophotometer — a device that measures absorbance ... from the logic analyzer and using primitive optical recognition on the decoded ...

Now, a team of researchers has designed a novel optical device with intriguing similarities with both these elusive cosmic phenomena. The device, reported in Advanced Photonics, functions as an ...

Scientists from the University of Oxford have developed a tiny nanoscale device that can be programmed using either photons or electrons. This electro-optical device is a bridge between ...

Scientists at CU Boulder have tapped into a poltergeist-like property of electrons to design devices that can capture excess heat from their environment—and turn it into usable electricity. The ...
