Optical nanoparticles are nowadays one of the key elements of photonics. They do not only allow optical imaging of a plethora of systems (from cells to microelectronics), but also behave as highly ...
In a multi-year project, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have developed plasmonic plastic—a type of composite material with unique optical properties that can be 3D-printed.
Trace liquid analysis is crucial in fields such as biomedical diagnosis, environmental monitoring, and chemical process control. Traditional detection technologies often face bottlenecks including ...
Researchers have developed a new optical computing material from photon avalanching nanoparticles. A research team co-led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), Columbia University, ...
Accurate gas detection is a cornerstone of energy security, environmental monitoring, and medical diagnosis. However, developing a miniaturized device ...
Researchers developed a fingertip-sized, humidity-tolerant hydrogen sensor using platinum nanoparticles that catalyze ...
Imaging technology has transformed how we observe the universe—from mapping distant galaxies with radio telescope arrays to unlocking microscopic details inside living cells. Yet despite decades of ...
Why can't plasmons achieve quality factors as high as dielectrics?""Because metals heat up easily—they're inherently lossy."This exchange is almost ...
A new publication from Opto-Electronic Science; DOI 10.29026/oes.2023.230019 overviews optical trapping of optical nanoparticles. This article reviews the fundamentals and applications of optically ...
