Photonic time crystals unlock ultrafast control of light in the terahertz range
An international team of researchers from École Polytechnique, Collège de France and Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) has achieved a world first: the experimental realization of an all-optical photonic time crystal (PTC), a material whose optical properties can be strongly and periodically modulated over ultrafast timescales.
The tech section covers stories about technology making life better, not just more profitable. Open-source tools reaching new audiences, accessibility breakthroughs, AI applications in healthcare and education, infrastructure improvements that quietly make cities work better. Product launches and funding rounds are excluded unless they deliver tangible public benefit.
