In the dynamic realm of optical physics, researchers are continually pushing the boundaries of how light can be manipulated and harnessed for practical applications. As reported in Advanced Photonics ...

Metasurface converts Gaussian beams to uniform light via polarization encoding, boosting NMR co-magnetometer sensitivity 23% for compact quantum sensors.

Scientists have created the first neutron 'Airy beam,' which has unusual capabilities that ordinary neutron beams do not. The achievement could enhance neutron-based techniques for investigating the ...

Shrink the Star Trek tractor beam down to a microscopic scale, add the ability to twirl the objects trapped in its path, and you’d have a system much like the one described in the 4 May issue of the ...

Physicists have turned a long-standing imaging workhorse into a kind of nanoscale chisel, using a razor-precise ion beam to ...
