An expressway of light - SIOM’s new soliton microcomb chip splits a laser into over 100 data lanes to achive 2,560 TOPS.

The Indian space agency is gearing up for the July launch of the NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellite, a ...

Photonics company Coherent has launched the SES18-880A-190-10, a high-power 880 nm single-emitter laser diode on sub mount, designed specifically for high-efficiency, high-reliability pumping of diode ...

Microwaves can also produce electrical charges in conductive and semi-conductive protrusions (such as antennae or camera lenses) that can turn into damaging currents. Mjölnir’s ability to change the ...

Unlike night-vision goggles, which can only see infrared light in green, people wearing the contacts can see infrared light in red, blue and green wavelengths. Because visible light is blocked by ...

Since the microwaves were able to heat and break down wires longer than their wavelength, the 54 cm VVF cable was fully pyrolyzed in just 12 minutes under 300 W of radiation, leaving the copper wire ...

Interestingly, the effectiveness of the pyrolysis varied with the cable length relative to the microwave's wavelength, which was approximately 12.24 cm at a frequency of 2.45 GHz.

They’re about 12 centimeters (4.7 inches) long, making them bigger than wavelengths of visible light. The mesh of microwave oven doors is designed with this in mind.
