4+ hour, 37+ min ago   (353+ words) Recently, twisted bilayer photonic crystals (TBPhCs) have been used as moiré-based optical platforms, supporting twist-tunable chiroptical and polarization-dependent responses. A periodic moiré supercell exists only for commensurate twist angles, whereas conventional supercell approaches are not directly applicable to incommensurate structures....

7+ hour, 31+ min ago   (210+ words) Can you imagine never knowing what you looked like? To think about it, without mirrors, you would’ve never seen a crisp-clear image of yourself. Sure, you may get …...

1+ day, 2+ hour ago   (201+ words) Tektronix has launched the 7 Series DPO (Digital Phosphor Oscilloscope), and the company claims the DPO718AX model is the world’s first 8-channel performance oscilloscope with up to 25 GHz analog bandwidth per channel (and 125 GS/s sampling). The new family is designed for…...

1+ day, 18+ hour ago   (31+ words) Is there any way to shatter space so mightily that it emits light? Sonoluminescence is one phenomenon through which sound waves tear water apart, creating …...

1+ day, 23+ hour ago   (920+ words) Plasmonic nano-antennas altered a protein’s light emission and response speed without changing its genetic code. (CREDIT: Shutterstock) Gold nanostars only tens of nanometers across changed how a fluorescent voltage sensor behaved in living mammalian cells. The particles made the engineered…...
