High-powered satellites use electromagnetic waveguides to deliver energy from one component to another. Typically, they are made of heavy, inflexible metal tubes with an even heavier flange on either ...

Lumus, the company that developed the waveguide optic used in Meta’s Ray-Ban Display smart glasses, says it has achieved a 70° field-of-view in a new design revealed this week at CES 2026. This ...

Augmented reality (AR) technology developer Magic Leap has signed an agreement with the Taiwan-based electronics manufacturer Pegatron, in a move that should see the latter ramp production of optical ...

Traditional wired systems have their own limitations in industrial settings. For example, conductor bars are restricted to analog signals, festoons and cable reels are limited to 330 feet for Ethernet ...

Ultrathin structures that can bend, focus, or filter light, metasurfaces are reshaping how scientists think about optics. These engineered materials offer precise control over lights behavior, but ...

"We show that this design can, in principle, find half of all existing Earth-like planets orbiting sun-like stars within 30 light-years in less than three years." When you purchase through links on ...

Airloom Energy just broke ground on a rectangular wind turbine pilot site near Rock River, Wyoming, and it has the potential to change how wind power gets built in the US. Backed by Bill Gates’ ...

Time, not space plus time, might be the single fundamental property in which all physical phenomena occur, according to a new theory by a University of Alaska Fairbanks scientist. The theory also ...

Researchers have now developed a new superior hardware platform for artificial intelligence accelerators using photonic integrated circuits on silicon chip. Co-packaged optics (CPO) technology can ...
