Scientists show that the geometry behind light waves can affect how light moves and interacts inside materials. Their research explores the hidden geometry of light and reveals new connections between ...

Anton Montag, doctoral student in the research group of Dr. Flore Kunst “Non-Hermitian Topological Phenomena” at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light in Erlangen. Quantum geometry is a ...

Quantum geometry describes quantum states in systems with changing system parameters, such as an electron spinning in a magnetic field whose direction is slowly changing. The state of the electron ...

A giant blue light in the metro Phoenix sky has gained popularity over social media for its unusual appearance, but it won't be there for much longer. The light has been a metro Phoenix phenomenon for ...

Researchers have developed a compact camera that captures ultraviolet, near-infrared and visible images using a single chip. Inspired by the multiwavelength vision capability of the mantis shrimp, the ...

Photographer’s description: “When I started in photography last September, I was desperate for inspiration. In a search on Instagram for street photography, I found Allan Schaller’s works. My ...

Using the ski jump, the authors built beam scanners on chips called photonic integrated circuits (PICs). The cantilevers can be fabricated using processes that have been established for conventional ...

Over the last few years, an ambitious moonshot project spun out of Google has been developing fascinating technologies to deliver connectivity across communities without the need for underground ...

After dumping its sole remaining gene therapy asset last year, Pfizer has decided to exercise its option for global rights to Beam Therapeutics’ liver-targeted gene editing candidate. The agreement, ...

is a deputy editor and Verge co-founder with a passion for human-centric cities, e-bikes, and life as a digital nomad. He’s been a tech journalist for 20 years. Light-based internet provider Taara, ...

Researchers have built a paper-thin chip that converts infrared light into visible light and directs it precisely, all without mechanical motion. The design overcomes a long-standing efficiency-versus ...
