Advances in knowledge of the relations between the optical properties and chemical composition of crystals, especially those affecting the amphibole group, have been incorporated in the text.

Mineralogy is the study of minerals, the building blocks of rocks, which are naturally-occurring, crystalline solids with a set chemical make-up. This includes the study of the chemical ...

There are legacy options you may be more familiar with, like a digital optical or TosLink cable, but the same HDMI cable that you use to connect your OLED, QLED, or LED-powered screen to your ...

In photonic chips, information can be encoded in optical properties like polarization, phase, magnitude, frequency, and wavevector. While this would be extremely fast and energy-efficient ...

Feb. 4, 2025 — A research team has developed a novel multidimensional sampling theory to overcome the limitations of flat optics. The study not only identifies the constraints of conventional ...

We know monarch butterflies for their striking orange and black wings and impressive migratory journey from Canada to Mexico. They also play an important role as pollinators in ecosystems. But monarch ...

SPOKANE, Wash. -- A local optical shop is changing up its business model to meet customers wherever they may be. Stahl Optical near 5th Avenue and Chandler Street on Spokane's South Hill is ...

Subterranean estuaries the, subsurface mixing zones of terrestrial groundwater and seawater, substantially influence solute fluxes to the oceans. Solutes brought by groundwater from land and solutes ...

This not only increases costs but also raises concerns about sustainability and resource efficiency. For that reason, the direct epitaxial growth of high-quality III-V optical gain materials ...
