Researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and Technical University of ...

Researchers have cracked a fundamental optical challenge: how to control both angle and wavelength of light independently—a ...

A team at Harvard and Vienna University of Technology have invented a new tunable laser that uses a series of rings to smoothly emit many light wavelengths from a single chip. The laser could replace ...

Using an advanced Monte Carlo method, Caltech researchers found a way to tame the infinite complexity of Feynman diagrams and ...

Shading brings 3D forms to life, beautifully carving out the shape of objects around us. Despite the importance of shading ...

Physics attempts to both answer philosophical questions about the nature of the universe and provide solutions to technological problems.

LiDAR-based object detectors are critical parts of the 3D perception pipeline in autonomous navigation systems such as self-driving cars. However, they are known to be sensitive to adverse weather ...

The laser’s unique architecture also guards against common problems like optical feedback, or when some laser light gets reflected backward into the source and can cause destabilization. Since the new ...
