Frequency combs go 3D! Reporting in Nature Photonics an international team of scientists in the group of Nathalie Picqué at the Max-Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching, Germany, ...

Haptic holography promises to bring virtual reality to life, but a new study reveals a surprising physical obstacle that will need to be overcome. A research team at UC Santa Barbara has discovered a ...

Firefighters already use infrared cameras to find people in burning buildings, but the technology can't distinguish between a person's heat and that of the surrounding fire. That's because a zoom lens ...

The principle of holography was discovered in 1947 by the Hungarian scientist Dennis Gábor, in connection with attempts to improve the resolution of electron microscopes. The experimental realization ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Holography is an important branch of optics which designs and reconstructs electromagnetic waves with the whole information of light, i.e., phase and amplitude. This technique ...

Knowing the structure of proteins is of interest not only to biologists who want to understand how an organism works but also to doctors and pharmacologists who need to know how proteins are ...

Researchers have invented a new quantum holography technique that images objects using undetected light. This counterintuitive process, which involves two correlated beams of nonclassical light in an ...

While most interaction with digital content is still constrained to keyboards and 2-D touch panels, augmented and virtually reality (AR/VR) technologies promise ever more freedom from these ...

Researchers have developed a new approach to multicolor holography that could be used to make 3D color displays for augmented reality glasses, smartphones or heads-up displays without any bulky ...
