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 ...

Michael Faraday, despite his initial background as a chemist, made significant contributions to the understanding of electricity and magnetism. Faraday's self-education, beginning with an ...

Did you know that the world around us is filled with different types of light waves ? From the warm glow of the sun to audible radio waves and invisible gamma rays, electromagnetic waves (action ...

Imagine future smartphones and computers that run on light instead of electricity—making them faster, more efficient, and ...

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 ...

During the latter part of the 20th century, string theory was put forward as a unifying theory of physics foundations. String theory has not, however, fulfilled expectations. That is why we are of the ...
