Scientists have developed the first non-invasive technique for controlling targeted brain circuits in behaving animals from a distance. The tool has the potential to solve one of the biggest unmet ...

Scientists can control brain circuits, behavior, and emotion using light. Researchers developed a new optogenetic tool, 'Opto-vTrap', which is expected to contribute to treatment for epilepsy, muscle ...

Optical waveguides are structures that guide and confine light within a small cross-sectional area. In nanophotonic circuits, waveguides are typically fabricated using high-refractive-index materials ...

Transmitting information using light is more energy efficient than using electrical signals. Unfortunately, for small-scale applications, light-based encoding through electro-optic modulators (EOMs) ...
