By squeezing terahertz light beyond its usual limits, researchers have exposed hidden quantum "jiggles" inside a ...

Invisible light beyond the range of human vision plays a vital role in communication technologies, medical diagnostics, and ...

To get closer to quantum technology we need to develop non-classical light sources that can emit a single photon at a time and do so on demand. Scientists at EPFL have now designed one of these ...

Nanoparticles containing lanthanide ions are excellent light emitters. The addition of organic molecules means that they can be activated using electric currents. These nanoparticles are excellent ...

NASA's EMIT sensor allows scientists to identify, track, and quantify various properties in the planet's dusty regions — and not just minerals.

(Nanowerk News) Researcher at iGaN Lab, University of Science and Technology of China, have developed a multifunctional three-terminal diode that functions both as a light emitter and a detector. This ...

Computers benefit greatly from being connected to the internet, so we might ask: What good is a quantum computer without a quantum internet? Computers benefit greatly from being connected to the ...

A typical reflective object sensor consists of an infrared light emitter diode (IRED) and an NPN silicon phototransistor mounted side-by-side on parallel axes in a compact black plastic housing. The ...
