A team of researchers has found that a venerable audio transmitting technique could hold promise for smart cities, as well as private companies looking to inexpensively reach large numbers of people.

Engineers have found a way to redirect misfit light waves to reduce energy loss during optical data transmission. In a study, researchers exploited an interaction between light and sound waves to ...

Researchers raise fundamental questions about the proposed value of topological protection against backscattering in integrated photonics. The field of integrated photonics has taken off in recent ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Engineers at the University of Illinois have found a way to redirect misfit light waves to reduce energy loss during optical data transmission. In a study, researchers exploited an ...

Process exploits interaction of light and sound waves to suppress the scattering by material defects. Transmission: Prof. Gaurav Bahl, left, and graduate student Seunghwi Kim. Engineers at the ...

The construction of compact semiconductors with reduced thickness and size is desirable for their application in microelectronic devices and transistors. However, measuring the parameters such as ...

Kanazawa gold leaf is a traditional Japanese material known for its remarkable thinness, just 100 nanometers—about 1/1,000 the diameter of a human hair—and its brilliant shine. The calcitic layers of ...

A Rutherford backscattering spectrometer (RBS) system can be applied to the study of surface coatings. The technique permits the study of inhomogeneous surface layers, including a determination of the ...

The field of integrated photonics has taken off in recent years. These microchips utilise light particles (photons) in their circuitry as opposed to the electronic circuits that, in many ways, form ...
