A team of researchers has fabricated a micron-scale device that deforms significantly under the force of light, a technology that could form the basis for tiny light-actuated switches or filters in future optical devices.
In recent years several groups have engineered novel structures on scales so
In 1867, Jules Verne imagined spaceships propelled by the pressure of light. In 1871 James Clerk Maxwell predicted that such pressure actually existed, and in 1900 Pyotr Lebedev confirmed that prediction experimentally.
For the past decade, USC’s Women in Science and Engineering program has been working to make academic research and scholarship more hospitable to women scientists.
Over the history of computing, smaller has come to mean better.
Professor of applied physics, Hui Cao, in collaboration with researchers at Northwestern University and NIST, has developed the first submicr
Solar cars, lasers, robots and field trips: Engineering summer camps organized by Texas A&M Engineering in July had them all.
The ubiquitous barcodes found on product packaging provide information to the scanner at the checkout counter, but that's about all they do.
Anyone who has flown over the western United States knows the patterns well: Seemingly endless repetitions of similar landforms, ridges and valleys and ridges and valleys arranged with nearly the regularity of the teeth on a comb.
