Gold plays a crucial role in modern advanced technology thanks to its unique properties. New research now demonstrates that changing the material's physical structure—its morphology—can fundamentally ...

Neurophos, a startup company based in Austin, Texas, that is working on photonic chips based around metamaterial optical modulators, says it raised $110 million in a series A round of venture funding.

As optical technology continues to push toward ever more extreme miniaturization, metalenses are emerging as one of the optical industry's most closely watched inflection points heading into 2026. At ...

The proliferation of artificial intelligence workloads is creating concern about the ability of data center networks to keep up with demand. One part of the solution is co-packaged optics (CPO), which ...

Researchers from Australia’s University of Queensland have made a microscopic “ocean” on a silicon chip to miniaturise the study of wave dynamics. The device, made at UQ’s School of Mathematics and ...

If Broadcom says that co-packaged optics is ready for prime time and can compete with other ways of linking switch ASICs to fiber optic cables, then it is very unlikely that Broadcom is wrong. The ...

Under the deal, Sunny Optical transferred the entire equity interest in its Shanghai OmniLight subsidiary to Goertek for 1.9 billion yuan ($267 million) in exchange for a stake in Goertek's optical ...

Background The core principles of optics have traditionally been rooted in wave propagation, scattering, and interference. In particular, classical optics focuses on how monochromatic light interacts ...

RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- Gravitational-wave detection technology is poised to make a big leap forward thanks to an instrumentation advance led by physicist Jonathan Richardson of the University of ...

A new multi-layered metalens design has been developed at the Australian National University. This concept could revolutionise portable optics in devices like smartphones, drones, and satellites. This ...

Scientists have developed a new multi-layered metalens design that could revolutionize portable optics in devices like phones, drones, and satellites. By stacking metamaterial layers instead of ...
