Researchers from North Carolina State University have created teardrop-shaped soft robots that leap upward or forward when exposed to infrared light – and will keep jumping as long as the... Read More
The integration of luminescent nanomaterials into scalable semiconductor platforms is vital for the future of on-chip photonics. Carbon dots (CDs) have emerged as a promising low-dimensional... Read More
Infrared cameras can be used to spot useful information that our eyes can’t see, such as gases escaping from a pipeline, chemicals in the atmosphere, or heat leaking from a building. But... Read More
Space weather warnings could be received hours before Earth is hit rather than minutes with the help of a miniature UK-built instrument soon to be stationed in deep space. MAGIC (MAGnetometer from... Read More
Australian researchers have developed a tiny, electrically tunable infrared filter that could help shrink bulky thermal sensing systems onto portable chips – potentially opening the door to... Read More
Progress in electronics is often measured in fractions of a millimetre. While individual components may be tiny, the consequences of failure rarely are. That’s why modern electronics... Read More
Ultrafast lasers emit pulses lasting only a few hundred femtoseconds, or quadrillionths of a second. These flashes of light power applications from precision micromachining, eye surgery to optical... Read More
Imagine navigating a city street during rush hour – cars and bikes zipping by, pedestrians hustling down a crowded sidewalk, your eyes adjusting to the shop windows' glare in one moment... Read More
Miniaturisation used to be an engineering ambition. Today it is an expectation. Whether we are talking about a wearable biosensor that disappears under clothing, an implant that delivers drugs... Read More
Researchers at McGill University in Canada have developed a novel device that generates sound-like particles known as phonons at extremely cold temperatures. The technology could be used to create... Read More
In this interview, Antonio Castelo, EPIC’s Technology Manager for Bio-Medical and Lasers, talks to Celia Millon, Founder and CEO of RayVen, a supplier of 2.1 µm SWIR ultrafast lasers for... Read More
A rainbow reveals with colours what otherwise remains hidden: light is “refracted” by transparent matter, in this case water droplets. This same physical effect underlies many everyday... Read More
