Light is an unusually rich carrier of information. Its direction of travel, wavelength, and polarization can all be used to ...

A lot of making goes on in this community these days, but sometimes you’ve just gotta do some old fashioned hacking. You might have grabbed an old Speak and Spell that you want to repurpose ...

If you happen to be in the market for a small artificial sun, you may be interested to know that for about $1300, you can get a tennis-ball-sized LED array that outputs 120,000 lumens.

NYU researchers have found a way to use light to control how microscopic particles assemble into crystals, effectively ...

At first glance, it may look like [Rybitski]’s 7-segment RGB LED clock is something that’s been done before, but look past the beautiful mounting. It’s not just stylishly framed; ...

During the acquisition of correct rejection response, rankings of functional connection separated for cortical and subcortical regions, which is predictive of the peak timing of visual information ...

Abstract: A novel approach for the independent manipulation of the in- band scattering and radiation patterns of phased arrays with high radiation efficiency is proposed. The in- band scattering and ...

A new optical device allows researchers to generate and switch between two stable, donut-shaped light patterns called skyrmions. These light vortices hold their shape even when disturbed, making them ...

Abstract: The use of high-frequency input signals from room-temperature microwave sources makes it difficult to scale up the number of quantum bits in universal quantum computers. To address this ...
