USC engineers have developed an optical system that routes light autonomously using thermodynamic principles. Rather than ...

A team of researchers at the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has created a new breakthrough in ...

Instead of relying on switches or digital control, the light finds its own path through the system. This approach could transform data transmission, computing, and communications by making optical ...

The work, reported in Nature Photonics, introduces a new way of routing light in nonlinear systems—meaning systems that do not require switches, external control, or digital addressing. Instead, light ...

There’s something to be said about a good sigh. Sometimes that deep exhale doesn’t just feel psychologically satisfying, but ...

Researchers have discovered a method to surpass traditional thermodynamic limits in converting waste heat into electricity.

Even after centuries of study, water continues to surprise us. The same molecule that sustains life on Earth can, under the ...

Feeling a sense of relief after a sigh could be related to how lung movements during a deep breath reduce surface tension of ...

Researchers find a way to overcome conventional thermodynamic limits when converting waste heat into electricity.

More than half of all premature babies born before the 28th week of pregnancy develop respiratory distress syndrome shortly ...
