After decades of physics-based theorizing, researchers have succeeded in creating a novel optical metamaterial using conventional materials. Its enhanced electromagnetic effect may make true one-way ...

Researchers have developed a new fabrication process that allows infrared (IR) glass to be combined with another glass and formed into complex miniature shapes. The new technique can be used to create ...

Researchers have developed new polymer materials that are ideal for making the optical links necessary to connect chip-based photonic components with board-level circuits or optical fibers. These ...

Summary: Michael Bokrosh continues to entice audiences with the unique allure of glass sculptures with “Mergingold,” the initial piece of his Monumental Glass Series. Our fast-paced digital age has ...
