Photonic molecules are a theoretical natural form of matter that can also be created artificially in which photons bind to form “molecules.” They were predicted…

Fluorescence is the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or other electromagnetic radiation. It is a phenomenon that occurs when a…

A fundamental model in quantum mechanics that describes the behavior of a particle in a harmonic potential well is the quantum harmonic oscillator. It is…

A structure formed by reflecting faces on two sides of a spacer layer or optical medium, or by wrapping a waveguide in a circular fashion…

A pulsed field magnet is a strong electromagnet that is powered by a brief pulse of electric current through its windings rather than a continuous…

A magnetoquasistatic field is a type of electromagnetic field characterized by a slowly oscillating magnetic field. Low-frequency induction from a magnetic dipole or a current…

Silicon photonics is the study and application of photonic systems that use silicon as an optical medium. Silicon is typically patterned with sub-micrometre precision into…

The conversion of light into electricity using semiconducting materials that exhibit the photovoltaic effect, a phenomenon studied in physics, photochemistry, and electrochemistry, is known as…

A Halbach array is a special arrangement of permanent magnets that augments the magnetic field on one side of the array while canceling the field…

An electromagnet is a type of magnet that generates a magnetic field by using an electric current. Electromagnets are typically made of wire wound into…

An electrodynamic wheel is a type of wheel proposed for use in the maglev train transport system’s electrodynamic levitation. This motor is used to propel…

Electromagnetism is the interaction of particles with electric charges via electromagnetic fields in physics. It is a branch of physics that studies electric and magnetic…
