Because commercial vibration isolation systems are expensive and often perform poorly when low-frequency isolation is required, a homemade system with mechanical springs and oil...
An optical antenna fabricated in the shape of a Bundt pan can concentrate energy over targeted infrared wavelength bands by up to 8 orders of magnitude.
Microscopic fluorescence lifetime imaging allows temperature measurement of single cells to obtain detailed information about an organism’s physiological state.

The validity of time crystals—structures that repeat in time with long coherence that could be used for quantum photonics—moves closer to reality with the demonstration of time...
Using an ion-exchange process, optical waveguides can be created in cost-effective display glass to support data transport and further photonic system integration.
Cost-efficient small-form-factor coherent modulators that leverage scalable silicon photonic architectures reach higher levels of integration than InP or LiNbO3 for high-baud-...
A nanopatterned 2D transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayer, illuminated by near-infrared laser light, creates an ultrathin transmission hologram via nonlinear second harmonic...
Raman microscopy can map the sub-cellular and sub-micron constituents of various tree-ring compounds to determine why old growth trees live for thousands of years.
A photonic topological insulator comprised of a coupled ring array can serve as an on-the-fly photon router when the rings are illuminated by an external laser source.
