Researchers at Nagoya University have developed transparent nanosheet sensors that can detect RGB light in a single pixel, ...

Imaging technology has transformed how we observe the universe—from mapping distant galaxies with radio telescope arrays to unlocking microscopic details inside living cells. Yet despite decades of ...

New research has shown how the quantum mechanical principle of strong coupling opens unrivalled possibilities for designing optical filters. A team of researchers from the University of Cologne, ...

A newly granted Chinese utility model patent proposes a self-cleaning, retractable filament sensor for FFF 3D printers.

Researchers report that they have invented new nanoscale sensors of force. They are luminescent nanocrystals that can change intensity and/or color when you push or pull on them. These 'all-optical' ...

Twisted moiré photonic crystals—an advanced type of optical metamaterial—have shown enormous potential in the race to engineer smaller, more capable and more powerful optical systems. How do they work ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) In the age of big data, we are generating more images than we can actually process. Autonomous vehicles, medical scanners, and quality control systems rely heavily on ...
