It’s not always easy to tell if a plant is dehydrated, and sometimes it’s too late to save it. But a sensor designed by an international team of scientists detects distress in...
Scaling silicon photonics for AI and data centers faces innovation hurdles in four key areas: Energy efficiency, manufacturing and packaging, ecosystem development, and cost optimizatio...
Fiber-based ultrafast lasers—with pulses of one-tenth of one-trillionth of a second—continue to evolve, and near-term advances will expand their use to materials processing, nonlinear...
A new way to power space missions piggybacks on bacteria's efficient light-harvesting abilities to create sunlight-powered lasers—and could enable power transmission between satellites...
A sustainable carbon nanomaterial “Gii” is poised to revolutionize broadband photodetectors because it can absorb the full spectrum of light—from ultraviolet to infrared.
A novel structure design within a photodiode creates drift fields to increase the velocity of signal electrons that allows them to be swept out of the photodiode and sampled much...
Tabless battery technology offers route to increase the energy density of battery packs, and laser cutting via galvanometer-based scan system offers a manufacturing solution.
