Abstract: We build a chip-scale confocal microscope using a 30-element optical phased array. We perform depth sensing by dynamically scanning the focal length and ...

Abstract: Distributed optical fiber acoustic sensing (DAS) systems are widely used in vibration monitoring due to their high sensitivity and immunity to electromagnetic interference. Intrusion events ...

An international research team reports the discovery of "hidden order" in systems that are disordered in space and time. The paper is published in the journal Nature Materials.

Robots small enough to travel autonomously through the human body to repair damaged sites may seem the stuff of science ...
