For decades, scientists have largely relied on painstaking trial and error to coax proteins into crystalline forms.

Researchers have found that an aperiodic structure based on ‘Smith hat’ showed different diffraction behaviors from those ...

Discovered by an amateur mathematician in 2022, this strange construct can tile an infinite surface without repeating. But ...

An artistic view of the subwavelength grating made of layered molybdenum diselenide. The red spheres represent molybdenum atoms, and the blue ones represent selenium atoms. Light is trapped within the ...

Tipster Ice Universe explained that the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra’s Privacy Display uses a two-layer optical system: microscopic “louvers” activated by liquid ...

Applied physicists in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have demonstrated a new way to structure light in custom, repeatable, three-dimensional patterns, ...

Optical dispersion occurs when the refractive index of a material changes with the wavelength of incoming light. This variation causes different colors to move at different speeds in transparent media ...
