🚨 New research from Imperial Physics + CUNY shows that a material can perfectly absorb or amplify light by changing how it behaves over time, not by altering its structure.

A new approach for communications, sensing and ultrafast photonics.

The researchers show that a subwavelength film of indium tin oxide, the bulk permittivity of which is strategically modulated via optical pumping, can be dynamically tuned to act as both a non-resonan...

Imperial scientists have been testing quantum-enhanced sensors for inertial navigation with the Royal Navy.

Unlike GPS, which doesn’t work underground or underwater, quantum sensors are super accurate, stable over long periods of time, and resilient to interference.
