Computer chips that cram billions of electronic devices into a few square inches have powered the digital economy and ...

Information processing across neuronal circuits in the brain determines thoughts, shapes emotions and regulates behaviours. It will therefore come as no surprise if dysfunctions affecting synaptic ...

In a significant advance for the growing field of synthetic biology, bioengineers have created a toolkit of genes and hardware that uses colored lights and engineered bacteria to bring both ...

Redefining the repeating pattern in photonic crystals creates tightly confined pathways for light while preserving symmetry, offering a simple route to ultracompact and low loss light circuits.

Optical waveguides are structures that guide and confine light within a small cross-sectional area. In nanophotonic circuits, waveguides are typically fabricated using high-refractive-index materials ...

The promise of a quantum internet depends on the complexities of harnessing light to transmit quantum information over fiber optic networks. A potential step forward was reported today by researchers ...
