It’s a simple truth that higher frequencies can inherently carry more data than lower frequencies. The more times an electromagnetic wave cycles in a second, the faster it can be modulated to pack in information. Which is why free-space optical c...

Light microscopes have revolutionized our understanding of the microcosmos, but their resolution is limited to about 100 nanometers. To see how molecules bond, break, or change their structure, we need at least 1000 times better resolution.
