Have you ever wished to drive microscopic matter along an arbitrarily tailored trajectory instead of just a circle? That's ...

Light has always carried more than brightness. In this case, it also carries direction and twist. That mix may open a new path for storing far more data in the same physical space. A research team led ...

Polytec's optical measurement equipment focuses on dynamic response measurements. MEMS devices typically have actively moving ...

Advancements in structured illumination and computational imaging are revolutionizing semiconductor wafer inspection, ...
