After nearly 20 years of hard work and a series of technical breakthroughs, scientists led by ZHANG Xuejun from Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics (CIOMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have successfully created the world’s largest SiC aspheric mirror, which boasts an impressive diameter of 4 meters.
The NOT-NOR (NOR) logic gate is a general-purpose gate that is employed to create any logic operation, build combinational logic circuits, manage packet contention, and monitor bit error rate.
Due to their significance in several applications, including optical networks, optical random memory, and photonic encryption/decryption, optical latches have garnered academic attention.
Gas sensors based on photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) have advantages of tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS), such as high sensitivity, high selectivity, and wide dynamic range. The sensor performance required is increasingly higher in practical applications.
In various engineering fields related to mechanical design, the use of important equipment mostly has the requirements of both lightweight design of support structure and harmful vibration control. But it is often difficult to be considered together.
Radiative cooling (RC) is passive cooling strategy that cools without any electricity input could therefore have a significant impact on global energy consumption. This approach is particularly appealing to the community.
