The field of photonic integrated circuits focuses on the miniaturization of photonic elements and their integration in photonic chips – circuits that carry out a range of calculations using photons, ...

We’ve got a thing for projects that have no real practical value but instead seek to answer a simple yet fundamental question: I wonder if I can do that? This dead-bug style 555 blinky light is one of ...

A new diode looks set to steal the humble LED's thunder. Dubbed a diode for light, and crafted using standard silicon chip fabrication techniques, this is a key discovery that will pave the path to ...

LED Chips, on the Cheap LED bulbs have long been lauded as an energy-efficient alternative to incandescent bulbs. But LED, or light-emitting diode, bulbs are expensive to produce, which has kept ...

Company says it has demonstrated the production of LED light chips on silicon, an effort that could ultimately result in cheaper energy-efficient light fixtures. Martin LaMonica is a senior writer ...

Integrated circuits are the brains behind modern electronic devices like computers or smart phones. Traditionally, these circuits—also known as chips—rely on electricity to process data. In recent ...

A group of South Korean researchers has successfully developed an integrated quantum circuit chip using photons (light particles). It is a system capable of controlling eight photons using a photonic ...

TESS, a Taiwanese manufacturing company, recently introduced a 7W LED bulb that, at 560 lumens, can serve as a replacement for a typical 500-lumen, 40W incandescent bulb (Figure 1). TESS has received ...
