Light near the surface of ultra-thin optical fibers allows sorting of chiral nanoparticles based on their handedness

Nanohole-induced confinement and charge neutralization deliver bright, stable quantum emission without electrical gating

Technion researchers led by Prof. Guy Bartal have created the first on-chip nanophotonic platform that deterministically generates single-photon quantum skyrmions. Using a gold circular grating to control total angular momentum (TAM) of surface plasmons, the device transforms heralded single photons into robust, topologically protected SAM-OAM entangled states with skyrmion number ±2 — without post-selection or multi-photon entanglement. This breakthrough paves the way for sc

Researchers from Japan achieve significant breakthrough in optoelectronics that can revolutionize next-generation photodetectors

New light source could enable chip-scale gas sensing tools

Most space missions rely on chemical rockets for propulsion. Rockets must carry fuel, which increases spacecraft mass and limits their speed and travel distance. For decades, researchers have explored light sails as an alternative. These devices use radiation pressure—the force exerted when light reflects from a surface—to generate thrust. When driven by a powerful laser, a light sail can accelerate continuously without onboard propellant, enabling faster travel across the so
