We have previously discussed metamaterials in an overview regarding their uses in lens design and optical cloaking, but the metamaterial realm stretches much further than that. Today, let us dive into ...

G-Force  and Training Pilots of Highly Maneuverable Aircraft Gravitational force equivalent or g-force describes the acceleration of a body relative to the acceleration of gravity at the Earth’s ...

Introducing Surface Plasmon Resonance Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is an optical detection technique commonly used to study biomolecular interactions. SPR is highly-sensitive to changes in the ...

Nanowires are truly one-dimensional structures that are long in one direction and short on the lateral dimension. This dimensional reduction gives rise to interesting new phenomena such as quantized ...

Raman scattering phenomenon can be used to engineer broadband tunable lasers and to generate a broad band of frequencies in the IR spectrum. These light sources are instrumental for probing and detecting ...

As we have noted several times previously on our blog, Moore’s law, the phenomenon of exponential growth of computing power due to ever more compact transistor technology, can only continue so far ...

The millimeter-wave (MMW) region of the electromagnetic spectrum is a region of frequency band between 30 gigahertz and 300 gigahertz, and it is called the Extremely High Frequency range. These high ...

High power lasers are used in the industry routinely for cutting, drilling, welding and micromachining materials. They have also found applications in medicine where tissue needs to be cut or heated. The ...

Tissue welding is a relatively new procedure that aims to seal wounds and openings in a surgery using laser. The first tissue welding application using lasers was done in 1964 to join small blood vessels ...

Optical fibers show promise not just in long-range information transmission, but also in fully optical computers. Image courtesy of tOrange.biz What is optical computing? For many decades, the processing ...
