Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light, interacting very weakly with ordinary ...

Engineers unlock the power of exceptional points (EPs) for advanced optical sensing. EPs -- specific conditions in systems where extraordinary optical phenomena can occur -- can be deployed on ...

Researchers have developed a sensor array design technology inspired by the human auditory system. By mimicking the human ear's ability to distinguish sounds through tonotopy, this innovative sensor ...

Printed sensors as small as a micron are moving from lab-scale novelty to real-world deployment, opening new possibilities ...

Imaging technology has transformed how we observe the universe—from mapping distant galaxies with radio telescope arrays to unlocking microscopic details inside living cells. Yet despite decades of ...

Detecting wavelengths beyond visible light—for instance, infrared light—offers clear advantages. Case in point is cameras in autonomous vehicles that ‘see’ through smoke or fog and cameras that unlock ...
