In plastic product production, a new automated method can optically monitor the presence of plastic parts that haven’t been pushed out of the injection mold.
Our debut episode of Following the Photons: A Photonics Podcast features Alexis Vogt, Endowed Chair and Professor of Optics at Monroe Community College.
Higher-order topological insulators (HOTIs) have a unique surface signature that determines how they reflect light—and it can be used to experimentally confirm the existence of...
