Plasmons, which are waves of electrons that move along the surface of a metal after it is struck by photons, holds great…

Often, because light travels so fast, it doesn’t interact much with matter. By slowing it down

In a finding that could have broad applications in optical devices, Brown University researchers have shown that they can transform incoherent light to almost fully coherent and vice versa.

In a paper published in the journal Science Advances, the researchers show that they can use surface plasmon polaritons…

New nanomaterials technique bends light, pushing the limit of thin-film absorption in solar and water-splitting applications

The photonic crystal forces light to bend in a deterministic manner, rather than random scattering or surface effects

Superconducting Quantum Simulator Outperforms Conventional Computer and May Simulate Complex Biological Processes, such as Plant Metabolism

The interaction between light and matter in photosynthesis, for instance when, sunlight shines on a leaf, can be describ…

Advance could eventually spawn new states of matter

The technique the researchers used is called RABBITT, or Reconstruction of Attosecond Beating By Interfering Two-photon…
