Targeting star systems identified by Kepler Space Telescope (especially those in habitable-zone candidate planets). Surveying a region near the Milky Way’s Galactic Center (where stellar density is ...

Tactile sensors with high softness and multiplexing are highly desirable for applications in humanoid robotics and smart prosthetics. Current tactile sensors face bottlenecks in multi-channel dynamic ...

Moving photonic ICs into the same package as silicon helps improve performance, but lasers remain outside. A new monolithic laser array allows hundreds of colors, each individually software-tunable ...

Chinese scientists have created fully flexible fibre chips with circuits that are integrated and embedded within stretchable strands as thin as human hair at a density rivalling those of a home ...

Physik Instrumente L.P., or PI, has released its H-815 six-axis hexapod robot. The company said the H-815 is a compact and robust parallel kinematic motion system engineered for continuous 24/7 ...

Available in 3-asix to 6-axis variants for single- and dual-sided fiber and fiber-array applications. The F-141 PINovAlign is a cost-optimized, high-speed photonics alignment system available in 3 to ...

A photonic chip coupled to a highly nonlinear crystal and a fiber array unit. The crystal produces entangled visible-telecom photon pairs, which are processed on silicon nitride and silicon photonic ...

The company’s sensors weave into textiles and surfaces, offering a scalable haptics solution for robots, vehicles, and smart environments. JQ Industries, a developer of flexible fiber sensors based in ...

From hand painted cross stitch patterns to intricate knitted designs to textile complex quilts, artists and hobbyists alike are drawn to the array of fiber arts shops and organizations strewn across ...

Abstract: We present development and characterization of an optical signal distribution unit for the phased array radars. The signal distribution is based on radio-over-fiber technology and is capable ...

Abstract: The fiber-optic hydrophone (FOH) provides new possibilities for underwater acoustic detection and surveillance, particularly when integrated with autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). Its ...
