Imagine being able to capture a high-resolution 3D image of a distant object—even a human face—through fog, foliage, or ...

One of my pet peeves with some compact cameras is that they often skip the viewfinder entirely. But one photographer and ...

These displays consist of a projection lens and a transparent holographic optical element (HOE) with off-axis concave mirror phase distribution and allow the user to observe a large 3D image by ...

For that reason, the direct epitaxial growth of high-quality III-V optical gain materials selectively on large-size silicon photonics wafers remains a highly sought-after objective. The large mismatch ...

But only a few of these stood out from the crowd. So as we come to the end of CES 2025, here is our look at six products that stole the show: Withings Omnia: Mirror Mirror On The Wall, Who's The ...

Optical illusions have been proven to be a great brain exercise as it encourages problem solving skill and creative thinking while also helping us understand the way our brains and eyes work ...

Mirrors of Kalandra drop randomly from enemies you defeat in high-tier maps or at the end of the campaign. They're extremely rare, but you can increase your chances of finding them by wearing ...

An adaptive optics system measures the distortion of incoming light and compensates to create sharp, clear images. Light from the telescope bounces off the adaptive mirror and is sent through a ...

For the first time, a team of researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering IOF and the University of New Mexico have succeeded in cooling silica glass by ...

The Roman – sorry, the optical telescope assembly – was ... The central feature of the telescope is an exquisitely polished, concave primary mirror, 7.9 feet in diameter.

In photonic chips, information can be encoded in optical properties like polarization, phase, magnitude, frequency, and wavevector. While this would be extremely fast and energy-efficient ...
