USC engineers have developed an optical system that routes light autonomously using thermodynamic principles. Rather than ...

A team of researchers at the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has created a new breakthrough in ...

The work, reported in Nature Photonics, introduces a new way of routing light in nonlinear systems—meaning systems that do not require switches, external control, or digital addressing. Instead, light ...

The Laws of Thermodynamics are the foundation of heat transfer and energy work. When any engineer is designing or implementing a system, the consideration of heat loss or energy produced is influenced ...

Tackling Grand Challenges, framed by the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), requires step-changes through transformative approaches and interdisciplinary thinking, beyond incremental variations ...
