Scientists announce the discovery of slab waveguides based on the two-dimensional material hexagonal boron nitride. The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), in collaboration with Kansas State ...

One of the most important components of satellites that enable telecommunication is the waveguide, which is a metal tube for guiding radio waves. It is also one of the heaviest payloads satellites ...

The US Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), in partnership with Kansas State University, reported the development of slab waveguides made of the two-dimensional material hexagonal boron nitride. This ...

To improve the efficiency of waveguides -- devices that guide light on the surface of silicon optical computer chips -- a complex balance must be struck. The need for enhanced optical signal ...

Researchers fabricated 20mm length waveguides made of the superconducting metal niobium (right). It shows improved conductivity compared with normal metal materials such as a gold-plated tellurium ...

It is now possible to fabricate thin photovoltaic films from an ink containing nanoparticles of stibnite, and to nanopattern those films for 2D and 3D structures of pretty much any shape. Such simple, ...

The field of integrated photonics has taken off in recent years. These microchips utilise light particles (photons) in their circuitry as opposed to the electronic circuits that, in many ways, form ...
