A laser-based system that can create mesh-like structures in a dish that resemble the cytoskeletons of cells has been developed by two RIKEN researchers. They demonstrated its usefulness for research ...

The chain catshark may look like any other shark in daylight, but under blue light, its skin glows neon green. Here’s a breakdown of this remarkable adaptation.

In brief: A group of researchers has demonstrated a compact optical device that switches between two distinct topological states of light, marking a key step toward terahertz communication systems ...

A new optical device allows researchers to generate and switch between two stable, donut-shaped light patterns called skyrmions. These light vortices hold their shape even when disturbed, making them ...

On-demand control of stable toroidal vortices lays groundwork for robust wireless data encoding. (Nanowerk News) Researchers have created an optical device that can generate both electric and magnetic ...

In a recent review article published in Photonics Research, researchers summarize advances in “twisted light” and “twisted matter,” and how structured light can probe, control, and help fabricate ...

Shaped quantum light is turning ordinary photons into powerful tools for the future of technology. A global group of scientists, including researchers from the UAB, has published a new review in ...

Fig. 1 Contents of this review. When AI and structured light meet, the intersection facilitates the generation of new forms of light, the unravelling of structured light, and the application of ...
