After decades of physics-based theorizing, researchers have succeeded in creating a novel optical metamaterial using conventional materials. Its enhanced electromagnetic effect may make true one-way ...

Researchers have developed a new fabrication process that allows infrared (IR) glass to be combined with another glass and formed into complex miniature shapes. The new technique can be used to create ...

Researchers at Harvard University, working with collaborators at the University of Lisbon, discovered that low-index silica ...

Humans have been making glass for 4,000 years. But now, scientists are developing techniques that will impact everything from medicine to the way we see the universe. Technicians in upstate New York ...

Glass science has evolved into a multidisciplinary field that interrogates the unique structural, chemical, and optical properties of glass materials. Owing to their inherent disorder and ...

Researchers have developed new polymer materials that are ideal for making the optical links necessary to connect chip-based photonic components with board-level circuits or optical fibers. These ...
