A large-scale population metagenomic study has shed new light on the spatial heterogeneity of viral communities across the gastrointestinal tracts of ruminants, which are closely linked to human ...

Technique lays the groundwork for neutral-atom quantum computers with more than 100 000 qubits, say physicists ...

A new metasurface design lets light of different spins bend, focus, and behave independently—while staying sharp across many ...

Planar micro-supercapacitors (P-MSCs), by jointly optimizing electrode intrinsic properties and interfacial structural design ...

They combined optical tweezers with metasurfaces to trap more than 1,000 atoms, with the potential to capture hundreds of ...

Applied physicists in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have demonstrated a new way to structure light in custom, repeatable, three-dimensional patterns, ...

High-precision magnetic sensors rely on uniform light to polarize atomic spins, yet most laser beams naturally deliver energy unevenly, limiting ...

When you flip a switch or power up your smartphone, the last thing on your mind is whether that light could be messing with your body's internal systems. Yet here's something lighting manufacturers ...

Researchers in the US have developed a new technique that could allow quantum computers to scale to well above 100,000 qubits by merging two highly powerful technologies, including optical tweezers ...

Abstract: Commercially available liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) spatial light modulators (SLMs) typically consist of a liquid crystal (LC) cell that controls the wavefront of polarized light along ...

Abstract: Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) plays an irreplaceable role in fiber sensing applications in extreme environments such as high temperature. This work demonstrates for the first time an FBG which ...
