Thin films might not come up in conversation every day, but they are all around us. Take the metallic plastic films of chip bags, for example, or the ...

A new technology allows light to be "designed" into desired forms, potentially making AI and communication technologies ...

By manipulating ultrafast quantum particles under extreme conditions, researchers have begun to probe growth dynamics in unprecedented detail. Why do patterns emerge as surfaces grow, whether in ...

The Kardar Parisi Zhang equation models surface growth. After forty years, researchers confirmed its two dimensional behavior using polaritons in engineered materials.

The Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation has been experimentally verified for the first time on 2D surfaces - thanks to sophisticated material design and polaritons. The question of how surfaces grow is one ...

In International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing, researchers at the University of Science and Technology Beijing developed ...

For decades, physicists have chased the goal of bringing together the building blocks of ...

Spin-out from UK’s Central Laser Facility will use seed funding to bring cutting-edge lasers ‘out of the lab and into the ...

Researchers generated stable vortex light in its lowest-energy state using liquid crystal traps and optical confinement.
