When light enters opaque white materials like paint, foam, or tissue, the photons are scattered like pinballs. So light doesn’t

When light travels from A to B through a transparent material, it takes a path whose prescription has been well-known

Researchers from the Complex Photonic Systems (COPS) group used two layers of random materials to encrypt and decrypt a message

Our recent publication, Two-Dimensional Freeform Reflector Design with a Scattering Surface, was listed in the Journal of the Optical Society

How good a photonic crystal is is very dependent on the fabrication. Large deviations from the ideal result in decreased

Light scattered by nanoparticles is at the basis of the rich colors of stained glass in medieval buildings or of

Tracking the position of a single particle within opaque samples, such as paint, foam, and tissue, is a major challenge

Opaque scattering materials, such as paint, foam, and tissue, typically consist of many small particles that cause incident light waves

Making a dark human hair transparent, or an opaque bar of silicon transparent: this optical sorcery is possible by manipulating

Ravitej Uppu has a conundrum—the best materials for housing qubits and certain other optically activated objects typically reflect incident light.
