Geometric optics is a confusing subject for many physics students, who often first encounter the subject in introductory college physics classes. Traditional instruction in geometric optics is not as ...

Physical optics (PO) methods have emerged as a cornerstone of electromagnetic scattering analysis for electrically large and complex targets. By representing induced surface currents on illuminated ...

The promise of physical AI is that engineers will be able to program physical agents the same way they do digital ones. We’re not there yet. Robotics is still held back by a paucity of data from ...

Semiconductor engineering teams have long relied on an iterative simulation workflow: define the scenario, prepare the model, run the analysis, review the results, adjust the design, and repeat until ...

Have you ever wondered why stars appear to “twinkle” in the night sky? These fast and seemingly random changes in the color and brightness of stars arise from how light interacts with different layers ...

Many current microscopy methods increasingly rely on computation as an integral part of the imaging process. This model-based approach to optics—integrating optical system design with algorithmic ...
