Physicists present a nanometer-sized light antenna with electrically modulated surface properties -- a breakthrough that could pave the way for faster computer chips. Physicists from Würzburg present ...

Researchers at Skoltech have developed an ultra-compact electro-optic modulator based on silicon photonics and plasmonics ...

TL;DR: This experiment may not revolutionize telecommunications, but it highlights how accessible these concepts have become outside traditional research labs. Using nothing more than an iPad, a solar ...

Artist's impression of an electrically contacted optical antenna (left) and the quantum mechanical distribution of its surface electrons. The normal distribution is shown in yellow, while the change ...
