Harry O'Mara, Luis Enrique Rosas Hernandaz, Sachini Withanage, Hemanta Pradhan and James Mangum share what they have been able to accomplish with the support of the Hughes family in the following ...

Of the many feats achieved by artificial intelligence (AI), the ability to process images quickly and accurately has had an especially impressive impact on science and technology. Now, researchers in ...

Achieving both high sensitivity and a wide dynamic range remains a central challenge in microelectromechanical accelerometers.

A new optical device allows researchers to generate and switch between two stable, donut-shaped light patterns called ...

Xcimer Energy announced today that its researchers and collaborators have removed a major scientific bottleneck to commercializing laser fusion energy by experimentally validating a long-overlooked ...

Researchers have developed a novel “Janus meta-imager” that uses diffractive neural networks to asymmetrically transmit and ...

Researchers at the Institute for Molecular Science (NINS, Japan) and SOKENDAI have demonstrated a more than 2000% voltage-induced enhancement of near-field nonlinear optical responses. To achieve this ...

Condensed-matter physics and materials science have a silo problem. Although researchers in these fields have access to vast amounts of data – from experimental records of crystal structures and ...

Mendel’s monastery garden experiments went largely unnoticed during his life, but their implications would ripple through science decades later. Gregor Mendel, Austrian botanist and founder of ...

In 1927, Albert Einstein and Neils Bohr debated the nature of what’s known as complementarity—the idea that a photon’s dual wave-like and particle natures can’t be measured at the same time. Now, two ...

Does the universe notice that we're paying attention to a quantum experiment? The answer goes against everything we thought we knew. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

In physics, breakthroughs are rare. Experiments are slow, expensive and often end up refining, rather than rewriting, our understanding of the universe. But what if the only constraint on scientific ...
