Sensitive yet tough photonic devices are now a reality

Summary

90% Informative

Engineers at the University of California San Diego have achieved a long-sought milestone in photonics: creating tiny optical devices that are both highly sensitive and durable.

Devices that are sensitive enough to detect tiny changes in their environment are fragile and prone to breaking down if even the smallest imperfections arise during manufacturing.

This rare coexistence of sensitivity and durability could lead to a new generation of photonic devices that're not only precise and powerful but also easier and cheaper to produce at scale.
