A team of NASA researchers is developing new types of optical masks that could help enable the many orders of magnitude of ...

Light is not supposed to behave like a trapped whirlpool, yet researchers have now shown that it can do exactly that inside a ...

Imagine a whirlpool spinning in a river, or a tornado swirling through the sky. They don't just spin on the spot: they travel forward while maintaining that spiraling motion inside them. These ...

By transmitting selective optical vortex modes exclusively unidirectionally, the developed device largely reduces detrimental backscattering to a minimum. The scientists emphasize the great practical ...

Researchers have succeeded in printing uniformly sized droplets with a diameter of approximately 100 µm using a liquid film of fluorescent ink. This ink, with a viscosity roughly 100 times that of ...

A new optical device might allow astronomers to view extrasolar planets directly without the annoying glare of the parent star. It would do this by “nulling” out the light of the parent star by ...

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MICROOLED Inc., the leading global supplier of AMOLED displays, is proud to announce their partnership with Vortex Optics to advance the development of high-performance weapon ...

Scientists have managed for the first time to create a unidirectional device that significantly increases the quality of a special class of transmitted signals in optical communications: optical ...
