Modern communication networks must handle ever-growing volumes of data, driven by cloud services, connected devices, and real ...

In the realm of general relativity, black holes are well-known for their ability to trap light and matter by bending spacetime, creating a point of no return. While black holes have fascinated ...

Researchers at Stanford have developed a compact optical amplifier that dramatically boosts light signals using very little ...

Kerry Vahala and collaborators from UC Santa Barbara have found a unique solution to an optics problem. When we last checked in with Caltech's Kerry Vahala three years ago, his lab had recently ...

Measuring blood flow in the brain is critical for responding to a range of neurological problems, including stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI) and vascular dementia. But existing techniques, ...

On the third floor of the University of Delaware’s Du Pont Hall, electrical engineers analyze delicate, centimeter-sized computer chips on a large optical table surrounded by oscilloscopes, lenses and ...

As anyone who has recently tried out an augmented reality headset knows, the technology is not yet ready to be part of our everyday lives. Researchers have been working to perfect high-performing ...
