(Nanowerk News) Physicists at JILA have created the first "frequency comb" in the extreme ultraviolet band of the spectrum, high-energy light less than 100 nanometers (nm) in wavelength.

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. In the last few weeks I've been working on a slightly more formal ...

Photonic computing represents not a radical departure from familiar territory, but rather a natural extension along the electromagnetic spectrum. The transition from gigahertz to hundreds of terahertz ...

Electromagnetic waves are members of a family of waves with common properties called the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum is a continuous range of wavelengths. The types of ...

Laser wavelength selection, a critical determinant of accuracy and data quality, is guided by factors such as resonance, fluorescence, and sample absorption. Ensuring the correct laser wavelength ...
