For the first time, physicists in Italy have created a 'lump soliton': an extremely stable packet of light waves which can ...

A physicist has proposed a bold experiment that could allow gravitational waves to be manipulated using laser light. By ...

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba use tiny nanocavities embedded in waveguides to selectively modify short light pulses, which may help lead to ultrafast optical pulse shaping for use in new ...

Fig. 1. (a) Schematic diagram of synchrotron radiation by single-undulator. The temporal spread of the radiation pulse is determined by the spatial distribution of electron bunch. (b) The radiation ...

Researchers have fabricated a metallic waveguide with a nano-sized cavity to select certain wavelengths of light. This work may contribute to developing devices that can compute based on light instead ...

(Nanowerk News) It is said that light is the source of life, and in the near future, it will possibly form the basis of our everyday personal computing needs too. Recently, researchers from the ...
