New metadevices to revolutionize communication technologies

Posted on by Haptic

Terahertz photonics is an emerging field with great potential for biosensing, nondestructive imaging or detection, and next-generation communication technologies (beyond 6G). However, existing terahertz components and systems are bulky and sensitive to imperfections and transmission losses. Miniaturization and integration of photonic devices and systems may be achieved via meta-optics. Metadevices based on the free-standing dielectric Read more about New metadevices to revolutionize communication technologies[…]

Night vision forever with ultra-thin film

Posted on by Haptic

Researchers from The Australian National University (ANU) have developed new technology that allows people to see clearly in the dark, revolutionising night-vision. The first-of-its-kind thin film, described in a new article published in Advanced Photonics, is ultra-compact and one day could work on standard glasses. The researchers say the new prototype tech, based on nanoscale crystals, Read more about Night vision forever with ultra-thin film[…]

A nano crystal that turns darkness into visible light

Posted on by Haptic

ANU scientists have designed a nano crystal around 500 times smaller than a human hair that turns darkness into visible light and can be used to create light-weight night-vision glasses. Professor Dragomir Neshev from ANU said the new night-vision glasses could replace the cumbersome and bulky night-vision binoculars currently in use. “The nano crystals are Read more about A nano crystal that turns darkness into visible light[…]
