Congratulations to Christoph Stockinger, Gandolf Feigl, and Samuel Hörmann for winning the Photonics and DeepTech Challenge Best Idea Awards.

Inevitably Elusive

University Graz researchers (Banzer group) present a novel and highly precise method for measuring the elusive and intricate features of light’s electric and magnetic fields at nanoscale dimensions.

Breaking Barriers at the Falling Walls Science Summit 2024

The Falling Walls Science Summit 2024 in Berlin once again proved to be a global hub for groundbreaking ideas and transformative discussions. Bringing together leading scientists, entrepreneurs, and policymakers, the summit served as a dynamic platform to explore innovations capable of shaping a brighter future for humanity.

The search for the hidden!

We are delighted to share our latest research results on improving the laser ultrasound (LUS) method for more efficient and accurate quality control of demanding samples with curved surfaces in industrial environments.

From Kudu to Panther – International Structured Light and Matter Conference Coming to Graz

After a successful bid, the next edition of the International Conference on Optical Angular Momentum (ICOAM) – the most important conference of the structured light scientific communities – will be held in Graz, Austria in 2026.

Polarization-based traffic control for light

By using light’s polarization as a control knob, an international collaboration of researchers from Canada, Mexico, Germany and Austria experimentally demonstrate and theoretically interpret tunable directional routing of light.
