Measuring a thought has always been difficult. Neuroscientists have some clever ways, but now University of Connecticut researchers describe in Scientific Reports the flashiest method may be less ...

This study proposes a novel method to accurately estimate modulation amplitude and determine spatial resolution in BOCDR without additional devices. Brillouin scattering is the phenomenon of the ...

A research team led by MedUni Vienna has shown in a study that purely optical measurements of the viscosity of blood plasma may provide information about the severity and progression of COVID-19. The ...

Large-aperture interferometers are important in the manufacturing and measurement of large-aperture optical elements, which play critical roles in the fields of optical precision manufacturing and ...

CU Boulder postdoc Catherine Saladrigas is helping bring high-resolution imaging into miniature microscopes for neuroscience research. In a promising leap forward for imaging, Saladrigas and a team of ...

USC engineers have developed an optical system that routes light autonomously using thermodynamic principles. Rather than relying on switches, light organizes itself much like particles in a gas ...

Researchers cracked the mystery of altermagnets, materials with no net magnetization yet strange light-reflecting powers, by creating a new optical measurement method. Their findings confirmed ...

Artificial intelligence grows more demanding every year. Modern models learn and operate by pushing huge volumes of data through repeated matrix operations that sit at the heart of every neural ...

A novel type of silicon-integrated micro-laser, developed by scientists at Sandia National Laboratories, based in Albuquerque, NM, can be combined with other micro-scale optical devices. Its ...

An extremely fast microscopy method to research the interaction of light and matter makes it possible to study optical ...
