If such a simulation were possible, the simulated universe could itself give rise to life, which in turn might create its own simulation. This recursive possibility makes it seem highly unlikely that ...

Ultrathin structures that can bend, focus, or filter light, metasurfaces are reshaping how scientists think about optics. These engineered materials offer precise control over lights behavior, but ...

Since its inception, augmented reality (AR) technology has faced a persistent engineering challenge: achieving a wide field of view (FOV) and excellent display quality within a compact and lightweight ...
