With ultraviolet light being the workhorse of advanced chipmaking, high-resolution microscopy and next-generation optical communication technologies, improving the on-chip control over such light is ...

Researchers have taken a giant leap toward transforming how future electronics will work—by controlling matter itself. For decades, scientists have chased the dream of designing devices that operate ...

Most of us control light all the time without even thinking about it, usually in mundane ways: we don a pair of sunglasses and put on sunscreen, and close—or open—our window blinds. But the control of ...

“Generally, such antiferromagnetic materials are not easy to control,” Nuh Gedik says, pictured in between Tianchuang Luo, left, and Alexander von Hoegen. Additional MIT co-authors include Batyr Ilyas ...

This review examines the role of twisted light in chiral systems, highlighting its applications in spectroscopy and materials ...

Scientists from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay have found a way to use light to control and read tiny quantum states inside atom-thin materials. The simple technique could pave the way for ...

Atomic level surface control raised light emission in indium phosphide magic sized clusters from under 1% to 18.1%, ...

Researchers from TU Delft and Radboud University (The Netherlands) have discovered that the two-dimensional ferroelectric material CuInP₂S₆ (CIPS) can be used to control the pathway and properties of ...

“There’s nothing faster than light, and we’re using light to control material properties at essentially the fastest possible speed that’s allowed by physics.” And unlike earlier attempts to achieve ...
