After decades of physics-based theorizing, researchers have succeeded in creating a novel optical metamaterial using conventional materials. Its enhanced electromagnetic effect may make true one-way ...

Researchers have discovered how to make an optical metamaterial that would underpin a variety of new technologies. A new approach has allowed researchers at Aalto University to create a kind of ...

MIT scientists created a way to 3D print glass-like structures without extreme temperatures. The special mixture used provides good structural integrity and diverse design possibilities. Researchers ...

I've been using my trusty Logitech Cordless Mouseman Wheel for about 4 years now, and it's starting to get a little long in the tooth. Even with new batteries, the signals from the mouse to the base ...

Lumus, an Israeli augmented reality (AR) optics company that specialises in reflective 2D waveguide technology, has launched the latest generation of its display architecture at CES 2023 in Las Vegas.

Humans have been making glass for 4,000 years. But now, scientists are developing techniques that will impact everything from medicine to the way we see the universe. Technicians in upstate New York ...

The World Wide Web might sound metaphorical, but it’s actually grounded in a physical web of translucent glass filaments crisscrossing the globe. These fiber-optic cables transmit internet data ...

A new type of hollow optical fibre promises to boost the amount of data that can be carried in each glass strand, and to do so over longer distances. This could help to make telecommunications systems ...
