Scientists have developed a new type of "virtual" metasurface—capable of controlling light in ways traditional lenses and optics can't—which they say is superior to the current approach, which relies ...

AI model designs complex metasurfaces in seconds using physics-guided learning, enabling rapid, high-quality holographic devices and adaptable optical systems for multiple wavelengths and ...

A new technique that combines electron microscopy and laser technology enables programmable, arbitrary shaping of electron beams. It can potentially be used for optimizing electron optics and for ...

We've all played at least once with a spring toy, but did you know that light can be shaped like a spring too? An international team of researchers, led by Marco Piccardo, a former researcher at the ...

Lithium niobate (LN) powers a newly developed optical metasurface for shaping and guiding light waves. Leveraging the electro-optical effect of lithium niobate, the device applies different electric ...
