Introduction Single photon sources are a relatively new type of light source that was first developed and tested in 1974. Unlike most classical light sources, this type of a source emits light as a single ...

Introduction to laser powder bed fusion In this article, we discuss a novel work introduced by the researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and University of Nebraska-Lincoln in the USA. ...

Optical Neural Networks can revolutionize data science. The current state of data science places a heavy emphasis on large quantities of data, which are widely available due to increased computational ...

Have you ever pondered about the physics of invisibility: the physics behind how we could possibly make someone invisible? Perhaps you picture bending light around someone to shield them with invisibility. ...

Introduction Supercontinuum lasers are a special type of lasers that emit an extremely wide and continuous spectrum of light. When they were first invented, these lasers were known as the “white-light” ...

LeviPrint technology, short for levitation printing technology, is a touch free manufacturing system currently in development. The technology is being developed with a few new contributions being ...

Material surfaces are not as smooth as they seem. They have microscopic irregularities that can only be seen when magnified. These irregularities are called microstructures. When properly engineered, these ...

When visiting lighthouses built in the 19th century, you may notice a strange hive like glass cage around the lamp. These are the Fresnel lenses, originally designed by Augustin Fresnel*. At the time, ...
