Engineers at the University of Florida have built a photonic chip that performs convolutions, the most compute-heavy operation in modern AI, using light instead of electricity and delivering roughly ...

For the past two decades, scientists have wondered about a bright, distinct striped pattern seen in radio waves emanating ...

Scientists have unveiled a new way to capture ultra-sharp optical images without lenses or painstaking alignment. The approach uses multiple sensors to collect raw light patterns independently, then ...

ABSTRACT: Dynamic analysis can be an efficient tool to understand and characterize some physical systems at different stages of processing. This is the subject of this paper. We derive analytically ...

Flexible, and easy-to-use Python diffraction simulator that focuses on visualizing physical optics phenomena. The simulator uses mainly scalar diffraction techniques for light propagation, provides a ...

Classical physics theories suggest that when two or more electromagnetic waves interfere destructively (i.e., with their electric fields canceling each other out), they cannot interact with matter. In ...

Yale physicist A. Douglas Stone has won the 2025 Max Born Award for his groundbreaking work in optics research, which includes more than 150 published research articles and multiple patents for ...

Inprentus provides beamline scientists with the world’s most advanced diffraction gratings for x-ray applications, offering unparalleled efficiency and high resolving power Champaign, Illinois, USA, ...

Azerbaijan Airlines says the jet that crashed in Kazakhstan on Christmas Day experienced “physical and technical external interference,” according to an early investigation, as questions swirled about ...
