By Coupling Photons To Atoms In Glass Fiber, Time Is Stopped
Light is a useful tool for quantum communication, but it has one major disadvantage - it travels at the speed of light and sometimes things need to be kept in place, or at least slowed down.Like with...
View ArticleNew Technique Reduces Halo Effect Caused By Camera Lenses
In a recent study, scientists have presented a new technique that significantly reduces the halo effect that is generated when using multi-focal. contact and intra-ocular, lenses and looking at bright...
