Transmitting optical information through highly distorting media has long been a challenge. Atmospheric turbulence, fog, and underwater environments distort light signals, making communication ...

Researchers developed a new optical system that uses holograms to encode information, creating a level of encryption that traditional methods cannot penetrate.

As the demand for digital security grows, researchers have developed a new optical system that uses holograms to encode ...

But the good news now is a tool is being developed to forecast these effects and predict when an FSO signal may fade as a ...

Observatories in Chile’s Atacama Desert, including the world’s largest optical telescope, could be blinded by light pollution and other unwanted side effects from the proposed construction of a renewa ...

Astronomers have taken a crucial step in showing that the most massive black holes in the universe can create their own meals ...

Researchers aboard the E/V Nautilus recently discovered four rare Palau nautiluses, ancient cephalopods also known as "living ...

Researchers have developed a groundbreaking method to produce Fresnel zone plates — paper-thin optical lenses — using standard semiconductor manufacturing techniques. These lenses, though less ...

If turbulence gives you the jitters, maybe fly around the Rocky Mountains — the high-elevation region was home to some of the most unsettled air in the US last year, according to a new report.

For the first time ever, scientists have used a technique called "quantum squeezing" to improve the gas sensing performance of devices known as optical frequency comb lasers. These ultra-precise ...

Tim Smith has 20+ years of experience in the financial services industry, both as a writer and as a trader. Boeing shares were among the few decliners in the Dow Jones Industrial Average ...

It seems we heard more about turbulence in 2024 than ever before. Multiple reports of injuries on turbulent flights hit the headlines, including one Singapore Airlines flight where a passenger ...
