Whether in a smartphone or laptop, semiconductors form the basis of modern electronics and accompany us constantly in ...

Scientists have shown that it may be possible to transform materials simply by triggering internal quantum ripples rather ...

Light can do more than illuminate a material. In some cases, it can temporarily change how electrons move through it.

Terahertz (THz) radiation, which occupies the frequency band between microwaves and infrared light, is essential in many next-generation applications, including high-speed wireless communications, ...

Scientists are learning how to temporarily reshape materials by nudging their internal quantum rhythms instead of blasting ...

It is remarkable that Raman spectra can, with the help of statistical inference, be used to predict cellular physiology and proteome composition. By making this possible, the work of Kamei et al. has ...

California-based Oclaro Inc. has agreed to acquire the local Spectra-Physics operation of Newport Corp. as part of an asset-exchange deal. Oclaro plans to consolidate some of Spectra-Physics' laser ...

How it works: the top frequency comb is passed through a sample of interest and then into a beamsplitter. The bottom frequency comb operates at a slightly different pulse repetition frequency and is ...

Research into spectroscopy in the mid-IR spectral region has made several recent breakthroughs, spurred by potential uses of the technique in biophotonics and medical imaging. But development of ...

MKS Inc. (NASDAQ: MKSI), a global provider of enabling technologies that transform our world, will showcase its latest ...
