Researchers from Regensburg and Birmingham have overcome a fundamental limitation of optical microscopy. With the help of quantum mechanical effects, they succeeded for the first time in performing ...

By combining two fundamentally different microscopy techniques, researchers can now measure the optical properties of a ...

Scientists achieve optical measurements at atomic scales using quantum electron tunneling, surpassing conventional microscopy limits by nearly 100,000 times with standard lasers.

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Science; DOI 10.29026/oes.2023.220024 considers a precise measurement technology of optical coherent structure of random lights. Optical manipulation and ...

With the continuous advancement of photoelectric performance in major equipment and advanced instruments, traditional optical elements are increasingly inadequate to meet the demands of modern systems ...

For many years, cesium atomic clocks have been reliably keeping time around the world. But the future belongs to even more accurate clocks: optical atomic clocks. In a few years' time, they could ...

Ellipsometry is a non-destructive, optical measurement technique that characterizes the optical properties of thin films. It is highly sensitive to changes in the thickness and refractive index of the ...

A collaboration between TU Wien (Vienna), and the universities of Glasgow and the Grenoble, have posed fundamental questions about the nature of precise measurement using light: what is the absolute ...

The most precise clocks ever built are now testing Einstein, hunting dark matter, and reshaping how we define time itself. In A Nutshell The world’s most precise clocks are changing how we understand ...

Natural gas electrical generation has increased significantly in recent years due to its cost advantage and reduced carbon footprint relative to coal. Many utilities are shifting to natural gas as a ...
