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 ...

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 ...

Laser drilling has found many applications in precision machining, microelectronics, chip fabrication, tablet drilling, and dentistry. The high aspect ratio of this process and its non-contact nature ...

Why do We Need Deformable Mirrors? Deformable mirrors are specialty mirrors that are capable of deforming their reflective surface and thus achieve wavefront correction of optical aberrations. In astronomy ...

Ever wonder how facial recognition has come around to be implemented in smartphones today? Vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers, (abbreviated VCSEL, pronounced “vixel”) are to thank for such ...

Everyone has seen different depictions of future technology in media and entertainment. One of the recurring themes in “futuristic” worlds is holographic screens individuals can interface with. With ...

Hunting. What was a pursuit once necessary for survival is now a sporting pastime for those in the developed world. Many of the animals are nocturnal which makes the night time a preferred time for ...

Wearable devices have been increasingly popular in the past few years. Everything from smartwatches as a fashionable, convenient extension of one’s smartphone to thin bands for fitness tracking, wearable ...

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 ...

The convenience and size of modern electronics make it easy to overlook the amount of engineering crammed into each device. For instance, most individuals do not consider what went into loading multiple ...
