While standard receptacles typically use three wires -- hot, neutral and ground -- you'll occasionally find 2-prong outlets in older homes. Since this type of outlet lacks a ground connection, the ...

Photonic quantum processors, devices that can process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects and particles of light (photons), have shown promise for numerous applications, ranging from ...

If someone on your holiday list is dying to play Pokémon Go or Jurassic World Live on an augmented reality rig, glasses and headsets can be found costing as little as $64 or as high as $1,700, with ...

Abstract: A novel slow wave structure (SWS) called the rectangular groove sine waveguide (RGSWG) SWS is proposed. The proposed structure incorporates a rectangular ...

Ultrathin structures that can bend, focus, or filter light, metasurfaces are reshaping how scientists think about optics. These engineered materials offer precise control over lights behavior, but ...

SCHOTT—a global leader in advanced optics and specialty glass—working with waveguide partner Lumus, is almost certainly the manufacturer of the waveguide optics in Meta’s Ray-Ban Display glasses.

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation brings heat to the Northern Hemisphere and regulates the climate globally, but research suggests it could weaken significantly in the coming decades.

"We show that this design can, in principle, find half of all existing Earth-like planets orbiting sun-like stars within 30 light-years in less than three years." When you purchase through links on ...

For years, climate experts have been sounding the alarm about the worsening impacts of global warming, and a report made by a European news wire agency over the weekend heightened the concerns in an ...

Researchers have now developed a new superior hardware platform for artificial intelligence accelerators using photonic integrated circuits on silicon chip. Co-packaged optics (CPO) technology can ...

A technical paper titled “Low-Loss Integration of High-Density Polymer Waveguides with Silicon Photonics for Co-Packaged Optics” was published by researchers at imec and Ghent University. “Co-Packaged ...
