Physical optics (PO) methods have emerged as a cornerstone of electromagnetic scattering analysis for electrically large and complex targets. By representing induced surface currents on illuminated ...

Geometric optics is a confusing subject for many physics students, who often first encounter the subject in introductory college physics classes. Traditional instruction in geometric optics is not as ...

Flexcompute, the physics company, today introduced the first practical fully autonomous agent-driven loop for end-to-end photonic chip design. AI agents now propose designs, run physics simulations, ...

Augmented Physics: This web-based tool uses machine learning to create interactive physics simulations from textbook diagrams. By semi-automatically extracting content, users can embed dynamic, ...

The promise of physical AI is that engineers will be able to program physical agents the same way they do digital ones. We’re not there yet. Robotics is still held back by a paucity of data from ...

Artistic rendering of noncollinear sum-frequency generation (SFG): two infrared pulses mix in a χ² crystal to produce three output pulses (green), with the central SFG pulse being the primary output ...

Semiconductor engineering teams have long relied on an iterative simulation workflow: define the scenario, prepare the model, run the analysis, review the results, adjust the design, and repeat until ...

Have you ever wondered why stars appear to “twinkle” in the night sky? These fast and seemingly random changes in the color and brightness of stars arise from how light interacts with different layers ...

With an applied physics: optics degree, you’ll gain specialized expertise in optics, preparing you for diverse career opportunities in technology, research, and academia. Become who you’re meant to be ...
