When waves meet a gap or an edge in a barrier, they continue through the gap or past the edge of the barrier. This may seem obvious but what happens on the far side of the gap or barrier is not so ...

The imaging resolution has long been constrained by the Abbe-Rayleigh diffraction limit. While the 2014 Nobel Prize recognized fluorescence microscopy, achieving single-shot, label-free far-field ...

In 1873, Ernst Abbe proposed the famous diffraction limit theory, stating that the resolution of an optical system is limited by the light wavelength ...

Imaging-based single-cell physiological profiling holds great potential for uncovering fundamental bacterial cold shock response (CSR) mechanisms, but its application is impeded by severe focus drift ...

Engineers at the University of Florida have built a photonic chip that performs convolutions, the most compute-heavy operation in modern AI, using light instead of electricity and delivering roughly ...

For the past two decades, scientists have wondered about a bright, distinct striped pattern seen in radio waves emanating ...

Many cutting-edge technologies, ranging from augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) to LiDAR (light detection and ranging) systems, rely on components that enable the precise control of light ...

Astronomers are now creating 'artificial stars' using powerful lasers to overcome Earth's atmospheric distortions that blur ...
