Researchers have overcome the limitations of existing metasurface technologies and successfully designed a Janus metasurface capable of perfectly controlling asymmetric light transmission. Metasurface ...

Almost a decade ago, Harvard engineers unveiled the world's first visible-spectrum metasurfaces—ultra-thin, flat devices patterned with nanoscale structures that could precisely control the behavior ...

Lumotive builds light control metasurface chips, which use nano‑scale pixels to steer and shape light electronically without moving parts. CEO Sam Heidari called the innovation "a paradigm shift… ...

From evening drives to navigating a house or a park in the dark, there are so many situations where it'd be handy to slip on a simple pair of night-vision lenses and the world that's beyond human ...

Being able to see light and detect radiation is of utmost importance at any frequency. While this challenge has been solved ...

Lumotive, a Washington based company backed by Bill Gates, recently announced an impressive $45M Series B raise (at a ~$200M valuation) to continue its journey in revolutionizing Light Control ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Light carries information in its wavelength, wavevector direction, polarization, and the way it bends through materials. Until now, optical data storage has typically used just ...

Schematic of secure holography using a reconfigurable stacked metasurface based on a modular diffractive deep neural network. Each metasurface layer independently reconstructs distinct ...

(Nanowerk News) Metasurface technology is an advanced optical technology that is thinner, lighter, and capable of precisely controlling light through nanometer-sized artificial structures compared to ...

Figure 1. Schematics of a device featuring asymmetric transmission. a) Device operating as a magnifying lens for back-side illumination. b) Device operating as a polarization camera for front-side ...
