Lens opens new possibilities in virtual and augmented reality

Researchers conducted the first study on disorientation to examine the physiological effects of extended crawling and swimming performance

Illumination from nanobionic plants might one day replace some electrical lighting

In experiments with the lab’s ultrafast ‘electron camera,’ laser light hitting a material is almost completely converted into nuclear vibrations, which are key to switching a material’s properties on and off for future electronics and other applications

A LANL team demonstrates that using their “designer” quantum dots, they can achieve light amplification in a nanocrystal solid with direct-current electrical pumping

In the short term, the advance should particularly help with organic light-emitting diodes that operate at high energy to emit colors such as green and blue

A new device could open new avenues for the generation of high-frequency radiation with applications in science, radar, communications, security, and medical imaging

Eventually, this method could be used in systems placed in airports, for the environmental monitoring of pollutants, or even in battlefields

A Washington University team, led by Lan Yang, the Edwin H. & Florence G. Skinner Professor of Electrical & Systems Engineering, has made major strides recently in the study and manipulation of light

The team's findings should help inform future experiments involving high-intensity lasers
