Early research towards bulk metamaterials and exotic properties has been supplanted by work on thin metasurfaces ripe for commercialization, as outlined in this Focus issue.
The 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics celebrates the profound impact of quantum entanglement, which underpins many modern quantum technologies such as quantum cryptography and computing.
News of a 1.3-MJ-output-energy experiment at the National Ignition Facility in the United States in August has raised hopes that laser-based fusion is back on track.
Solution-processing of light-emitting devices is attracting much attention due to low manufacturing costs and access to new materials. In this month’s Focus issue we highlight some of the advances and challenges in the field.
Artificial intelligence deployment in photonics has spawned much research activity during 2020, but optimism must be balanced by realism. This month we celebrate the advances in the field with a focus issue.
Integrated quantum photonic chips offer the promise of a convenient, scalable platform for performing tasks such as quantum communication and information processing.
The certification of solar cells with exceptional performance is now common practice in order to ratify claims. Should similar schemes be introduced for other optoelectronic devices?
Nature Photonics pays tribute to the pioneering scientists that helped define the field of photonics in the latter part of the twentieth century with the launch of an online collection of profiles.
