If fiber-optic lighting systems are good enough for the Declaration of Independence, they should be good enough for the dairy case, explains John Davenport, CEO of Fiberstars. The Solon, Ohio-based ...

Capasso himelf called the discovery “a counterintuitive breakthrough in nanotechnology.” He added, “We have demonstrated in ...

The key to performance of LiDAR sensors and many other optoelectronic sensors lies in their optical system. No matter if automotive, industrial automation or safety and security is the application, ...

Follow along as Machine Design interviews John Ellis, an entrepreneur, inventor and founder of Massachusetts-based engineering consulting firm Optics for Hire. The Optics for Hire team—a group of ...

Researchers at Princeton and North Carolina State University have developed a technique that substantially improves the ...

Polarized light is one of the most powerful tools scientists have for peering inside matter, yet the way it twists, scatters and transforms inside real-world materials has long been treated as a black ...

Nano-optics, by bridging the gap between classical optics and nanotechnology, explores light at dimensions smaller than its wavelength. It leverages phenomena like plasmonics, near-field optics, and ...

In a discovery that blurs the line between biology and technology, scientists have found that heart-shaped clams use fiber optic–like structures to channel sunlight through their shells in much the ...

Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be used to generate brain organoids containing an eye structure called the optic cup, according to a new study. The organoids spontaneously developed ...
