Imagine, right now, as you read these words, you're immersed in an unseen ocean of energy. Waves are zipping through your ...

MIT researchers have built a terahertz microscope that reveals hidden quantum motion inside superconductors for the first time.

Scientists developed a terahertz microscope that compresses terahertz light down to microscopic dimensions. This pinpoint of ...

Deep in the frozen heart of Antarctica, the South Pole Telescope has been watching one of the most extreme neighborhoods in our galaxy, and it's just caught something extraordinary happening there.

You can point to red, green, and blue on a rainbow, but not purple. That’s because it doesn’t actually exist in the spectrum ...

A single gold nanoparticle tends to absorb within a narrow band. Much of its strongest response sits in visible wavelengths.

Gold nanospheres, named supraballs, absorb solar wavelengths that even traditional photovoltaic materials miss.

Researchers report that gold nanospheres, named supraballs, can absorb nearly all wavelengths in sunlight — including some ...

Abstract: Optical links play a key role in many applications ranging from data centers to AI systems. Such links typically consist of a light source chip, a transmitter chip (which may be ...

Abstract: With AI model size doubling every four months, the size of AI compute clusters is growing rapidly to keep up. Traditional data center front-end networks rely on optical interconnect for data ...
