Researchers have defined the precise shape of a single photon, a huge leap forward in quantum physics and material science.

Since it was first demonstrated in the 1960s, spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) has been at the center of many ...

Unlike clams, the heart cockle doesn't need to open wide to bask in the sun. It has a clever trick up its shell: tiny, transparent windows.

A heart cockle shell has been found to let in light through a design that resembles fiber optic cables. This could inspire ...

Scientists have shown that laser light, under certain conditions, can behave like an object and cast a shadow.

Abstract: Fiber-based optical antennas are useful for efficient light reception at the receiver in visible light communication (VLC) systems. It combines the principles of fiber optics and antenna ...

Should you use white or multi-colored lights to decorate for the holidays? Likely, members of your family have differing opinions about what lights go on the tree. Probably strong opinions. When it ...

However, when transmitted across the vast distances of space, even a tightly focused laser beam will spread out significantly by the time its light reaches its destination. This will weaken severely ...

We finally know what brought light to the dark and formless void of the early Universe. According to data from the Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes, the origins of the free-flying photons in the ...

If you're thinking of investing in a smart lighting setup, Philips Hue and Govee are both brands that should be on your shortlist, but how can you choose between the two? You may be aware that Hue ...

Khyzak REBOFF is a new Ukrainian FPV kamikaze drone with fiber optic cable for communication instead of radio. This makes it immune to jamming, the most effective protection against small drones.
