I'm sure many readers of Universe Today are, like me, fans of the science fiction genre. From the light sabers of "Star Wars" to the neuralyzer of "Men in Black," science fiction has crazy inventions ...

In the race to develop faster and more flexible wireless communication technologies, researchers are turning to an unexpected source: the same organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) found in smartphone ...

Researchers have developed an all-light communication network that enables seamless connectivity across space, air and underwater environments. The new network design combines different types of light ...

Researchers have demonstrated a prototype all-light communication network that can achieve seamless connectivity across air, land and underwater environments, even when communication nodes are on ...

Visible light communication (VLC) harnesses the visible spectrum, typically emitted by light-emitting diodes or laser diodes, to transmit data in addition to providing illumination. By modulating the ...

A VLC system consisting of a transmitter and a receiver was constructed, and a serializer/deserializer using 8B13B coding was implemented on an FPGA. The data modulated onto the LED light were ...

With the evolution of the sixth-generation (6G) mobile communication toward a space-air-ground-sea integrated network, massive data-centric applications, such as augmented/virtual reality (AR/VR), ...

Warp-drives are solutions of general relativity widely considered unphysical due to high negative energy requirements. Most research has focused on macroscopic solutions towards the goal of ...

Amici direct vision prism. Image by D-Kuru. CC BY-SA 3.0 Scientists have developed a new platform that produces ultrashort UV-C laser pulses and detects them at room temperature using atom-thin ...

Since the 1990s, the implementation of optical wireless communication has slowly grown across the world. While the emerging technology's benefits seem promising, it also comes with unique challenges ...
