A novel concept for extracting information from spectra where traditional post-processing procedures fail, dubbed ‘software-defined spectroscopy’, offers a fresh approach to high-resolution terahertz spectroscopy. The new method implements an ‘optical comb’ and combines it with a programmable modulator, all using components from the optical internet.

UCL has reaffirmed its position as one of the world’s top research institutes in a series of recent world rankings.

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a new way of imaging cells in 3D at 20nm resolution using single molecule light field microscopy (SMLFM), a new class of three-dimensional (3D) light field technology.

The world’s fastest data transmission rate has been achieved by a team of UCL engineers, led by Dr Lidia Galdino of The Optical Networks Group. The team reached an internet speed a fifth faster than the previous record.

Rachel Oliver, Professor of Materials Science at University of Cambridge, speaks to Real Scientists Nano about her research work on the small scale (nano) structure of gallium nitride in existing and new devices.
