New research shows how fibre-optic cables can monitor the hidden structure of glaciers, teaching us about past and future ice flow.

Laser-cooling enables new measurements that could explain why antimatter is so scarce in our universe.

A new study sheds light on a once-elusive phenomenon known as a "turbulent dynamo," an astrophysical process that amplifies magnetic fields.

Robotic engineers from Harvard’s Wyss Institute and John A. Paulson School for Engineering and Applied Science have developed a laser-steering microrobot in a miniaturized 6 by 16 millimeter package that can be integrated with existing endoscopic tools.

The instrument could bring powerful sensing and imaging capabilities out of the lab and into hospitals, airports, or other settings.

A new laser technique that measures the chemical make-up of whisky may help fight cancers.

Creating colloidal diamonds, a long-awaited photonic technique, could change the development and use of optical technologies over the next decade.

A new algorithm lets researchers reconstruct the movements of photons to see through clouds, fog, and other obstructions.

A new study helps identify the ideal patient to receive selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) to treat glaucoma.

When scientists moved from manipulating atoms to messing with molecules, molecules started to disappear from view. Professor Kang-Kuen Ni has figured out why.
