Four astronauts just beamed back the sharpest photos ever captured of Earth rising behind the Moon. The images, transmitted using new optical technology, show details humanity has never seen before.
Scientists at Harvard built a tiny chip that can control the "handedness" of light on demand, opening doors to smarter sensors and faster communications. The breakthrough could revolutionize how we detect molecules and transmit data.
Scientists at CU Boulder have created tiny glass racetracks that capture and amplify light with almost no energy loss, potentially revolutionizing sensors and quantum computers. The breakthrough uses highway-inspired curves and sub-nanometer precision to keep light circulating longer than ever before.
