From filming star-like plasma in trillionths of a second to testing a record-breaking lithium thruster and advancing 300kW-class missile defense lasers, researchers and engineers marked major leaps in ...

Tomography is central for measuring global corneal geometry, but its limitations create a diagnostic gap, especially for early detection. PS-OCT may address this issue by combining ...

Keratoconus is a progressive eye disease that weakens and thins the cornea, the clear front surface of the eye. In its early, subclinical stage, the ...

Researchers at Heriot‑Watt University have achieved a world-first in photonics by using light to control all aspects of light polarization at ultrafast speeds. The technique, 100,000 times stronger ...

Keratoconus is a progressive eye disease that weakens the cornea, but its earliest (subclinical) stage is difficult to detect ...

Scientists at Heriot‑Watt University have demonstrated in a world-first, that light can be used to control every aspect of how electromagnetic waves oscillate, opening new technological frontiers.

Announcing a new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2026.250249. SHANNON, CLARE, IRELAND, ...

Researchers in Austria found that unusually high photovoltaic efficiency in lead-halide perovskites can be explained by internal electric fields generated at strain-induced domain walls, which ...

Scientists have created tiny “optical tornadoes” — swirling beams of light that twist like miniature whirlwinds — using a ...

Light near the surface of ultra-thin optical fibers allows sorting of chiral nanoparticles based on their handedness.

Have you ever wondered why a peacock's tail shimmers with brilliant blues and greens, or why a butterfly's wings flash colors ...
