They combined optical tweezers with metasurfaces to trap more than 1,000 atoms, with the potential to capture hundreds of ...

Chinese researchers have developed a new type of optical crystal that could help address several major supply chain bottlenecks.

Physicists have used a new optical centrifuge to control the rotation of molecules suspended in liquid helium nano-droplets, bringing them a step closer to demystifying the behavior of exotic, ...

Time is almost up on the way we track each second of the day, with optical atomic clocks set to redefine the way the world ...

Atomic, molecular and optical (AMO) physics explores the quantum behaviour of electrons, atoms and light, and their mutual interactions across energy, length and time scales. In atoms and molecules, ...

The research demonstrates a practical method for overcoming a long standing bottleneck in quantum computing, bringing closer ...

A research team at Shanghai Jiao Tong University has unveiled Optics GPT, described as the world's first large language model ...

Glass nanostructures etched using high-intensity femtosecond laser pulses promise to keep vast quantities of data safe for billions of years, describe Peter Kazansky, Ausra Cerkauskaite and Rokas ...

Modern-day communications rely on both fibre-optic cables and wireless radiofrequency (RF) microwave communications. Reaching higher data transmission capabilities is going to require technologies ...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging technology that can non-invasively generate cross-sectional images of tissue. OCT is widely used in eye clinics to diagnose and manage retinal diseases ...
