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 discovered how to make an optical metamaterial that would underpin a variety of new technologies. A new approach has allowed researchers at Aalto University to create a kind of ...

MIT scientists created a way to 3D print glass-like structures without extreme temperatures. The special mixture used provides good structural integrity and diverse design possibilities. Researchers ...

The World Wide Web might sound metaphorical, but it’s actually grounded in a physical web of translucent glass filaments crisscrossing the globe. These fiber-optic cables transmit internet data ...

Scientists show that it is possible to make a femtosecond laser that fits in the palm of one's hand using a glass substrate. Is it possible to make a femtosecond laser entirely out of glass? That's ...

A new type of hollow optical fibre promises to boost the amount of data that can be carried in each glass strand, and to do so over longer distances. This could help to make telecommunications systems ...

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 ...
