Researchers at the University of Sydney have developed a new type of radar that can measure objects down to centimeters. The new technique uses a photonic system to generate much higher bandwidth ...

Nature may abhor a vacuum, but it sure loves structure. Complex, self-organized assemblies are found throughout the natural world, from double-helix DNA molecules to the photonic crystals that make ...

Structural colors result from interactions between light and nanostructures. Engineering structural colors is a promising, rapidly emerging research field. Compared with conventional painting ...

“This is potentially enough to build planetary systems larger than our own solar system,” announced Dr. Katie Hesterly of the SKA Observatory, when she revealed the first direct observation of ...

In this guest blog, Karen McNulty Walsh of Brookhaven National Laboratory explains how Michigan Technological University scientists and alumni developed an innovative, centimeter-scale view into ...

Scientists at Duke University have created the first invisibility cloak that perfectly hides centimeter-scale objects. While invisibility cloaks have been created before, they have all reflected some ...

GPS has been a crucial technology for decades, but it does have its limitations, particularly in urban areas where signals can get noisy. Now, engineers in the Netherlands have developed “SuperGPS” – ...
