Light carries information through its direction, polarization, and wavelength, but controlling these properties independently has been difficult. Researchers report a single-layer dielectric ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Light carries information in its wavelength, wavevector direction, polarization, and the way it bends through materials. Until now, optical data storage has typically used just ...

Researchers use large language models to streamline nanoscopic material design for advanced optical systems like camera lenses and VR headsets. (Nanowerk News) A team of researchers at Penn State have ...

Optical metasurfaces, with their ultra-thin and lightweight properties, are driving the miniaturization and planarization of optical systems. However, their development from unit-cell design to system ...
