A suspended chalcogenide waveguide achieves record ppb-level gas detection in the near-infrared, enhancing sensitivity for portable environmental monitoring.

WASHINGTON — Researchers have designed and demonstrated stretchable waveguides that maintain efficient, stable signal transmission of surface plasmon polaritons even when bent, twisted or stretched.

Quantum computers promise to solve problems far beyond the reach of today’s machines, but building them is incredibly difficult. One of the biggest challenges is simply reading the information stored ...

High-powered satellites use electromagnetic waveguides to deliver energy from one component to another. Typically, they are made of heavy, inflexible metal tubes with an even heavier flange on either ...

Since its inception, augmented reality (AR) technology has faced a persistent engineering challenge: achieving a wide field of view (FOV) and excellent display quality within a compact and lightweight ...
