Nothing is set to unveil its Phone (4a) series on March 5, and the company has now shared the first official look at the ...

The Pentax K-1 Mark II delivers that traditional DSLR feeling – and this deal makes it hard to resist, with a free SD card, camera bag, and more ...

CU Boulder researchers have built high-performing optical microresonators, opening the door for new sensor technologies. At its simplest form, a microresonator is a tiny device that can trap light and ...

Light powers everything from communications to sensing, yet even tiny imperfections can scatter it and weaken signals. To address this, a team led by the University of Bath—working with the University ...

A new Stanford-designed optical amplifier uses energy recycling in a resonator to deliver strong, low-noise amplification with far less power.

CU Boulder researchers have designed microscopic “racetracks” that trap and amplify light with exceptional efficiency. By using smooth curves inspired by highway engineering, they reduced energy loss ...

A new metasurface design lets light of different spins bend, focus, and behave independently—while staying sharp across many colors. The trick combines two geometric phase effects so each spin channel ...

According to a new filing with the European Union, Apple has acquired the assets of invrs.io and hired its founder, who is the only employee.

We love a good optical illusion at Creative Bloq. Normally, it's just to take a break and mess with our minds for a moment. But sometimes optical illusions can be educational, particularly for anyone ...

The human eye is a simple, but extremely robust, optical instrument. Analysis by sophisticated wavefront-sensing technology and customized ray-tracing has now revealed that the eye is actually an ...
