Physicists at Umeå University, in collaboration with researchers in China, have developed a laser made entirely from biomaterials—birch leaves and peanut kernels. The environmentally friendly laser ...

Wan Shou, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering, will study high-quality semiconductor fabrication through a 3D printing process that includes understanding the phase change and ...

In various space tasks such as space rendezvous-docking and on-orbit maintenance, the measurement of the relative posture and position of non-cooperative spacecraft is a key component. However, the ...

Eindhoven-based inPhocal's concentric laser beam does the impossible but building the company required breaking borders, not ...

Encouraged early on by Nobel laureate Enrico Fermi, the “Queen of Carbon” laid the foundation for countless advances in ...

Darwin Quiroz is exploring new frontiers in miniature lasers with major biomedical applications. When Quiroz first started working with optics as an undergraduate, he was developing atomic ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

Even if we stopped burning fossil fuels today, the carbon already lingering in our atmosphere would continue warming the planet for centuries. This unsettling reality means that simply cutting ...

Optical technology is well established for long-haul communications, but the distances it serves are shrinking — especially in the data center. Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) already ...

Engineering physics is a combination of electrical engineering and physics, which means you'll typically start by taking courses and labs such as calculus, chemistry and physics, as well as some ...

For the first time, physicists have directly measured the temperature of extremely hot gold particles using a giant X-ray laser—a breakthrough with major implications for engineering spacecraft or ...
