Physicists have engineered light to drift sideways in discrete, quantized steps inside a fiber-optic loop, reproducing a signature behavior of the quantum Hall effect without electrons, magnetic ...

Scientists have found a clever way to supercharge ultra-thin semiconductors by reshaping the space beneath them rather than ...

Photonic circuits, which manipulate light to perform various computational tasks, have become essential tools for a range of advanced technologies—from quantum simulations to artificial intelligence.

A research team from Skoltech and ITMO university has obtained tunable polariton emission at room temperature on CsPbBr 3 perovskite crystals as a promising platform for integration into lateral ...

Atomically thin semiconductors such as tungsten disulfide (WS 2) are promising materials for future photonic technologies. Despite being only a single layer of atoms thick, they host tightly bound ...

Optical trapping is a powerful tool for manipulating microscopic particles, but conventional approaches often suffer from limited trapping range and poor stability when particles disturb the optical ...
