Mar 20, 2025 A nanoscale modulator has broken the terahertz mark. The ultrafast component efficiently transmits large volumes of data into the fibre-optic network in a short space of time. (Nanowerk News) Plasmonic modulators are tiny components that convert electrical signals into optical signals in order to transport them through...
Oxygen discovered in most distant known galaxy
Mar 20, 2025 This record-breaking detection is making astronomers rethink how quickly galaxies formed in the early Universe. (Nanowerk News) Two different teams of astronomers have detected oxygen in the most distant known galaxy, JADES-GS-z14-0. The discovery, reported in two separate studies, was made possible thanks to the Atacama Large...
Metasurface stores data securely by manipulating four light properties
Mar 20, 2025 (Nanowerk Spotlight) Light carries information in its wavelength, wavevector direction, polarization, and the way it bends through materials. Until now, optical data storage has typically used just one of these properties at a time—like encoding data in different colors of light. This limitation makes optical storage vulnerable...
