Active Laser Medium The active laser medium (also known as a gain medium or lasing medium) is the source of optical gain within a laser. The gain is…
Laser Science – a branch of optics Laser science, often known as laser physics, is a discipline of optics that deals with the theory and application of lasers. Lasers are devices that…
Polariton Interferometer The Polariton Interferometer is a navigation device proposed for military usage due to its independence from regular GPS, which is prone to jamming and has…
Quantum Dots Quantum dots (QDs), also known as semiconductor nanocrystals, are semiconductor particles a few nanometres in size with optical and electrical properties that differ from those…
Surface Metrology – a subfield of metrology Surface metrology is a subfield of metrology that measures small-scale features on surfaces. It is the scientific investigation and measurement of surface qualities and properties.…
Three Scientists have Received the Nobel Prize in Physics for their Work on Electrons Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz, and Anne L’Huillier were awarded a prize of £823,000 for their work on electron dynamics in matter. Three scientists have been…
Researchers Construct a DNA Structure and Cover it With Glass to Produce a Very Robust, Low-Density Material Strong and lightweight materials have the potential to enhance anything from body armor to automobiles. However, the two traits typically do not coexist. Now, scientists…
The Dynamic Disorder of Atoms can be Seen Via a New “Camera” With a Shutter Speed of One Trillionth of a Second A novel “camera” that can detect local disorder in materials has been created by researchers. Its distinguishing characteristic is a variable shutter speed: because the…
Quantum Gyroscope A quantum gyroscope is a highly sensitive gadget that measures angular rotation using quantum mechanical principles. It is a gyroscope that measures angular velocity or…
Fibre-optic Gyroscope A fibre-optic gyroscope (FOG) detects changes in orientation by employing the Sagnac effect, similar to a mechanical gyroscope. It is a sort of gyroscope that…
Researchers Find Unexpected Characteristics in Boron Nitride-Based Nanocomposites Boron nitride gives rise to compounds that can be either soft or hard, just as carbon makes up both the brittle core of a No.…
Carbon Nanofibers Carbon nanofibers (CNFs), also known as vapor-generated carbon fibers (VGCFs) or vapor-grown carbon nanofibers (VGCNFs), are cylindrical nanostructures made up of graphene layers arrayed in…
