Researchers from Bar-Ilan University have successfully recreated key features of black hole physics in a laboratory setting ...

Have you ever wished to drive microscopic matter along an arbitrarily tailored trajectory instead of just a circle? That's ...

Researchers generated stable vortex light in its lowest-energy state using liquid crystal traps and optical confinement.

Invisible infrared waves are emitted by IR LEDs and detected by photodiodes to enable devices like remotes, automatic ...

In this Physics World Focus on Optics & Photonics you’ll find an interview with the healthcare photonics lead at the UK’s Centre for Process Innovation, and a report on a pan-European effort to ...

Ultrathin structures that can bend, focus, or filter light, "metasurfaces" are reshaping how scientists think about optics. These engineered materials offer precise control over light's behavior, but ...
