Infrared imaging technology takes a giant leap forward

Infrared imaging technology takes a giant leap forward

A paper recently published in Scientific Reports shares that a research team from the University of Notre Dame has engineered a chip that allows thermal imaging with IR detectors. This new chip features unique properties not previously available with conventional...
 Designing next-generation optical antennas

Designing next-generation optical antennas

Antennas catch radio waves from the air and convert the energy into electrical signals. They can also convert electrical signals into radio waves. Optical engineers and scientists, like Associate Professor Anthony J. Hoffman, are working toward leveraging these devices to...
