  1. First-Of-Its-Kind Microscope Takes 3D Ghost Images Of Nanoparticles 7/28/2025

    Ghost imaging is like a game of Battleship. Instead of seeing an object directly, scientists use entangled photons to remove the background and reveal its silhouette.

  2. When Light Collides With Light 7/28/2025

    Usually, light waves can pass through each other without any resistance. According to the laws of electrodynamics, two light beams can exist in the same place without influencing each other; they simply overlap.

  3. Magnetizing Quantum Communication 7/28/2025

    As the demand for more secure data transmission increases, conventional communication technologies are facing limitations imposed by classical physics, and are therefore approaching their limits in terms of security.

  4. Zygo Unveils Groundbreaking Wide-Field Accessory For Non-Contact Optical Profilers At SPIE Optics + Photonics 2025 7/25/2025

    Zygo will debut its 0.5X ZWF Objective at SPIE 2025, offering the widest FOV for fast, high-precision optical metrology across large, complex surfaces.

  5. Supermodes: When Lasers Team Up 7/25/2025

    Known for their ability to seamlessly integrate into semiconductor chips, VCSELs (vertical cavity surface emitting lasers) are used in everything from computer mice to face-scanning hardware in smartphones.

  6. Tandem Perovskites On Silicon: Canadian Technology From WattByWatt Tested By CEA 7/25/2025
