The discovery could offer a route to smaller, faster electronic devices.

The new observations record a key crossover from classical to quantum behavior.

By trapping light into tiny crevices of gold, researchers have coaxed molecules to convert invisible infrared into visible light, creating new low-cost

A new study confirms that as atoms are chilled and squeezed to extremes, their ability to scatter light is suppressed.

Design of miniature optical systems could lead to future cell phones that can detect viruses and more.

The advance could improve energy efficiency of data centers and lighten the load for electronics-rich vehicles.

The design may enable miniature zoom lenses for drones, cellphones, or night-vision goggles.

New type of optical computing could solve highly complex problems that are out of reach for even the most powerful supercomputers.

The findings may help researchers design “spintronic” devices and novel magnetic materials.
