Researchers at the University of Colorado, Boulder have been experimenting with laser sources called optical frequency combs to find a new way of studying molecular structures. Frequency combs get their ...

On September 14, 2016, one of the greatest discoveries in Physics took place: Detection of Gravitational waves. Gravitational waves were theorized on the basis of General Relativity (GR) – a theory ...

If you’ve been in the market for new high-end TV lately, you may have run into what Samsung has coined as the QLED line of displays.  Display manufacturers tout this “state-of-the-art” display technology a ...

Autonomous vehicles are a scientific wonder that optics is turning into a reality. On top of being highly convenient, autonomy for vehicles can potentially reduce rates of collision. This article covers ...

LASERs (or Light Amplified by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) are among the most widely available and versatile optical tools today.  A variety of lasers are commonly used in household devices, such as ...

In order to understand the contribution of matter, radiation, and dark energy in the universe, cosmologists have developed a set of cosmological parameters: matter (Ωm), radiation (ΩR), dark energy (ΩΛ). ...

The manufacturing industry has come a long way from Ford’s car plants that spurred innovation in the U.S. The assembly line was a revolutionary tactic for efficiency, but modern manufacturing is much more ...

Previously, we discussed a technique for producing high resolution maps of neural activity in the brain called Optical Recording of Intrinsic Signal, or ORIS.  Conventional methods for performing ORIS ...

Previously, we discussed how visible light in combination with implantable optical sensors was used to map epileptic neural activity and localize focal seizures on the surface of the brain.  Scientists at ...

Optical technology has had a huge impact on our everyday lives. Sensational inventions like the self-driving car, Wi-Fi connected home appliances and automated assembly lines all use optical fibers or ...
