Astronomical observations consistently show that about 85% of all matter in the cosmos exists in this invisible form, outweighing the ordinary matter that makes up stars, planets, and everything we can see …

The rapid advancement of photonic technologies is reshaping how we manipulate light on a chip, and nonlinear integrated photonics is at the heart of this transformation. By leveraging nonlinear optical effects, engineers can build ultrafast switches, frequency combs, all-optical signal processors, and quantum light sources. However, the real magic lies …

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has always stood at the frontier of scientific disruption, and its latest endeavor under the Defense Sciences Office (DSO) continues that legacy. This ambitious program, announced in draft form in June 2024, seeks to fundamentally transform our ability to access valuable radioactive isotopes …
