“Scientists at Heriot-Watt University have found a powerful new way to programme optical circuits that are critical to the delivery of future technologies such as unhackable communications networks and ultrafast quantum computers. “Light can carry a lot of information, and …
“Scientists have developed an advanced technique for 3D printing that is set to revolutionise the manufacturing industry. The group, led by Dr Jose Marques-Hueso from the Institute of Sensors, Signals & Systems at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, has created a new …
“Scientists at Heriot-Watt University have published ground-breaking research into the phenomenon known as quantum entanglement. This is when two particles – such as photons of light – remain connected even when they’re separated by vast distances. In a world riddled with …
“Researchers have generated a wide range of colours from a single laser after discovering a new process for achieving so-called ‘supercontinuum generation’. Supercontinuum generation is when intense laser light of one colour travels within a material, like glass, and broadens …
“Scientists from Heriot-Watt University have welded glass and metal together using an ultrafast laser system, in a breakthrough for the manufacturing industry. Various optical materials such as quartz, borosilicate glass and even sapphire were all successfully welded to metals like …
“ Scientists in the Institute of Photonics and Quantum Sciences have reported they are one step closer to technology that could result in electrons being replaced with photons, solving the looming ‘speed limit’ for electronic gadgets. According to Dr Marcello Ferrera …
