Researchers have developed a new method to display highly realistic holographic images using ‘holobricks’ that can be stacked together to generate...
By trapping light into tiny crevices of gold, researchers have coaxed molecules to convert invisible infrared into visible light, creating new low-...
New mechanism found for generating giant vortices in quantum fluids of light.
New type of optical computing could solve highly complex problems that are out of reach for even the most powerful supercomputers.
Five researchers at the University of Cambridge have won consolidator grants from the European Research Council (ERC), Europe’s premiere funding...
Researchers have developed a method to ‘squeeze’ visible light in order to see inside tiny memory devices. The technique will allow researchers to...
Researchers have shown why intense, pure red colours in nature are mainly produced by pigments, instead of the structural colour that produces bright...
Cambridge engineers have developed a new augmented reality (AR) head-mounted display (HMD) that delivers a realistic 3D viewing experience, without...
The smallest pixels yet created – a million times smaller than those in smartphones, made by trapping particles of light under tiny rocks of gold –...
Cambridge researchers are devising new methods to keep sensitive information out of the hands of hackers. They launched the UK’s first ‘unhackable’...
A microscopic ‘pen’ that is able to write structures small enough to trap and harness light using a commercially available printing technique could...
A smart material that switches back and forth between transparent and opaque could be installed in buildings or automobiles, potentially reducing...
