Programming light on a chip

Research opens doors in photonic quantum information processing, optical signal processing and microwave photonics.

Engineers identify improved MOF membranes to capture CO2 at coal-fired power plants

A computational modeling method may help to fast-track the identification and design of new carbon capture and storage materials for use by the nation's coal-fired power plants. The hypothetical mixed matrix membranes would provide a more economical solution than current methods.

Researchers offer new physics rule to find mechanical strain

Researchers weave two fundamental ideas of geometry and mechanics in a new theory of how thin sheets can be forced to conform to 'geometrically incompatible' shapes.

Engineers create a wireless charger you can easily cut to shape

Researchers developed a new system to charge electronic devices such as smartphones and smartwatches wirelessly. The method involves a cuttable, flexible power transfer sheet which charges devices wirelessly and can be molded or even cut with scissors to fit different-shaped surfaces and objects.

Nanophysicists develop a high-performance organic phototransistor

Researchers developed a new molecular device enabling to detect light and translate it with high efficiency to detectable electronical current.
