The application of modulated UV-C light to guavas—emitted in pulses or cycles rather than continuously—combated anthracnose. This fungal disease is caused by microorganisms belonging to the ...

Physicists present a nanometer-sized light antenna with electrically modulated surface properties -- a breakthrough that could pave the way for faster computer chips. Physicists from Würzburg present ...

Quantum computing has long promised to crack problems that defeat even the fastest supercomputers, but the hardware has ...

Laser Proximity Sensors use laser beams to detect the presence or absence of objects within a certain range. They are used in security systems, robotics, automation, and industrial processes, where ...

The National Institute of Information and Communications Technology has successfully developed a highly efficient optical modulator using organic electro-optic polymer (hereinafter referred to as EO ...

Numerical examples for explaining the basic procedure for computational light control. (a) Single-lens optical imaging system with three distributed apertures. (b) Phase tilt is added to the small ...

Artist's impression of an electrically contacted optical antenna (left) and the quantum mechanical distribution of its surface electrons. The normal distribution is shown in yellow, while the change ...
