A new laser-optical system uses 2,000 controllable beams to precisely position atoms, enabling key logic processes in a ...

If you want to get around Monaco, a map — digital or otherwise — is probably the best way to navigate. But if you just want to appreciate the city’s form in a more artistic way, you might enjoy ...

Abstract: An improvement of the linearity of the light-current characteristics and the beam quality of high-power α-distributed feedback lasers is achieved by an ion implantation of the regions ...

There are lots of different ways to build a clock. [Sciter_] came into the possession of some old calculator parts, and decided to reuse them for just such a project. The heart of the build is an ...

An international team led by the Max Born Institute has developed a new type of momentum microscopy to image magnons—the quanta of collectively excited spins—directly in two-dimensional reciprocal ...

We describe a novel high coupling efficiency multimode waveguide grating coupler which uses a polysilicon overlay numerically optimized to improve both the directivity and mode-matching of the grating ...

XGIMI MemoMind One smart glasses skip the camera but use always-on microphones that capture everyone nearby — and twelve US ...

When white light is later shone onto the plate, those tiny silver layers act like a built-in diffraction grating. The result is structural color, similar in principle to the shimmer of a soap bubble, ...

I flew all the way from Seattle, Washington, to Stockholm, Sweden, to watch bike helmets get smashed into heavy metal anvils over and over again, all for science. I was invited on behalf of MIPS, ...
