A light-sensitive crystal is opening the door to a new era of “light-written” technology. Arsenic trisulfide can be reshaped ...
Scientists have made the first experimental observation of matter wave diffraction in a short-lived electron-positron atom.
Light has always carried more than brightness. In this case, it also carries direction and twist. That mix may open a new ...
Crystalline arsenic trisulfide shows record photorefractive response and can be laser-patterned at 500-nm resolution without ...
The direction in which the electromagnetic field of circularly polarized light rotates can be easily reversed by applying a voltage, RIKEN researchers have demonstrated. This could enable a new ...
At the current rate, the production of digital data far exceeds that of storage capacity, which requires making choices, such as not keeping certain information, or degrading the quality of ...
