Scientists from Germany's DESY have come up with a two-stage correction approach to speed up electrons just like they do with giant particle colliders ...

Silicon photonics revolutionizes data transmission with faster, more efficient lasers integrated on silicon wafers.

The experimental arrangement is such that the intensity ... The spurs are due to beamns of scattered electrons which are nearly if not quite as well defined as the primary beam.

Engineers developed a technique to grow and peel ultrathin 'skins' of electronic material that could be used in applications such as night-vision eyewear and autonomous driving in foggy conditions.

Imagine the tiniest game of checkers in the world—one played by using lasers to precisely shuffle around ions across a very small grid.
