By combining two fundamentally different microscopy techniques, researchers can now measure the optical properties of a ...

A century ago, Erwin Schrödinger came up with an equation that says how the quantum world behaves. Now scientists are asking ...

Most natural diamonds have ages between 1 billion and 3.5 billion years. Diamond is the only gem with a single element. Do ...

Nonlinear refractive index of Au nanoparticle suspended in PVA solution was measured using a single beam Z-scan technique. Measurements were carried out using a green CW laser beam operated at 532 nm ...

In this work, a highly sensitive wavelength sensor based on a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) waveguide is presented to increase sensitivity and quality factor by optimizing critical structural factors ...

In this paper, we introduce a comprehensive study, based on both numerical and experimental analyses, of side polished-single mode fibers (SP-SMF) to investigate their corresponding evanescent field ...

The company, a large real estate listings platform, wanted to change its media mix to higher-quality online ad placements. “Environments where we are proud to show up,” as Zillow VP of media Ed Wild ...

Abstract: We present a new wavelength and temperature dependent refractive index equations for 0.5% MgO doped periodically poled stoichiometric LiTaO 3 crystal for both extra-ordinary and ordinary ...

A research team in Italy has tested the performance of semitransparent wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells in underwater (UW) environments and has found that, at a 0.5–1 cm depth, the devices achieve ...

Abstract: Interpretation of the waveform observed from satellite microwave radar altimeters is essential for the estimation of the thickness of snow and sea ice. Previous studies have relied on the ...

The Mission to Seafarers' latest edition of its quarterly Seafarers Happiness Index has revealed a steadying in seafarer satisfaction, marking a small rise as the survey enters its 10th year. The Q1 ...
