Recently, a research team led by Prof. LI Chuanfeng from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) achieved a breakthrough in quantum photonics. They developed an on-chip photonic ...

Counterintuitively, as insets IV and V show, a state gets trapped completely by a band gap material with a finite and very small thickness. The first configuration, a strip geometry of a photonic ...

In theory, silicon photonics could solve some major problems associated with the continued use of copper interconnects. One of the biggest problems with copper wire is that it doesn't scale nearly as ...

The principles of quantum mechanics represent the fundamental nature of reality—but a reality that is different from what we see in our everyday experience. We are accustomed to objects that have ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...
