“Rochester researchers find new way to extract temperature from light emitted by a diamond defect. For centuries people have placed the highest value on diamonds that are not only large but flawless. Scientists, however, have discovered exciting new applications for …
“Researchers at University of Rochester’s Institute of Optics for first time distill novel interferometry into a photonic device. By merging two or more sources of light, interferometers create interference patterns that can provide remarkably detailed information about everything they …
“Rochester researcher’s new model suggests ways to sell surplus energy from electric vehicles to local grids. American homeowners with solar panels can sell the surplus electricity they generate back to their local grids. Should electric vehicle (EV) owners be …
“The research may aid in developing drugs to fight the negative effects of these microorganisms that adhere to surfaces. Anne S. Meyer, an associate professor of biology at the University of Rochester, and her collaborators at Delft University of Technology …
“The engineers have achieved unprecedented bandwidth and brightness on chip-sized nanophotonic devices. Quantum entanglement—or what Albert Einstein once referred to as “spooky action at a distance”— occurs when two quantum particles are connected to each other, even when millions …
“Rochester geophysicists’ latest findings will inform the next generation of moon exploration. In 2024, a new age of space exploration will begin when NASA sends astronauts to the moon as part of their Artemis mission, a follow-up to the Apollo …
“From insulator to metal and back again—a new transition phenomenon reported by Rochester and Las Vegas researchers ‘will find a place in physics textbooks.’ Remarkable things happen when a “squishy” compound of manganese and sulfide (MnS2) is compressed in …
“Rochester researchers advance groundbreaking technique first pioneered at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics. The 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics was shared by researchers who pioneered a technique to create ultrashort, yet extremely high-energy laser pulses at the University of Rochester …
“New research at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics provides clues to the evolution of the solar system. Nearly 40 years ago, scientists predicted the existence of helium rain inside planets composed primarily of hydrogen and helium, such as Jupiter and …
“In a series of papers, Rochester researchers report major strides in improving the transfer of information in quantum systems. Quantum science has the potential to revolutionize modern technology with more efficient computers, communication, and sensing devices. But challenges remain in …
