On February 6, 1959, Jack Kilby from Texas Instruments filed a patent for the first ever integrated circuit, an invention ...

Over the past two decades, photonic integrated circuits made from silicon have quickly moved from just being studied in academic settings to being widely used in data centres and telecommunication ...

A research team has successfully implemented a programmable spinor lattice on a photonic integrated circuit (PIC). This platform enables the realization of non-Abelian physics, in which the outcome of ...

You’re probably familiar with the little black boxes nestled neatly inside your favorite devices. With their diminutive size and unassuming characteristics, it can be hard to believe these vessels are ...

To make stretchable electronics, engineers must start with materials that can tolerate strain. That’s why the ability to endure being stretched is a sought-after quality in flexible electronics, ...

The multi-level intermediate states of phase change materials realized by laser-writing technique open up their potential applications in optical computing, and reconfigurable metasurfaces.

Photonic integrated circuits are essential to many technologies, including fiber-optic communications, mapping systems, and biosensors. These circuits – which use photons instead of electrons – employ ...

In 1958, the American free-market economist Leonard E Read published his famous essay I, Pencil, in which he made his point ...
