New Switchable Metamaterials Could Lead to Advanced Optical Devices

Metamaterials play a bigger role in invisibility cloaks than magic. The materials are human-engineered and they have properties that are not seen in nature, enabling them to bend and manipulate light in unusual ways.

Researchers Control Electron Spin of Levitated Nanodiamonds to Advance Sensors and Quantum Data Processing

A team of researchers have demonstrated a way to manipulate the "electron spin" of a nanodiamond when it is levitated using lasers in a vacuum. This innovative method has potential in applications spanning across sensors, quantum data processing, and studies covering the fundamental physics of quantum mechanics.

New Findings Impact Development of Nano-Patterned Materials in Optical, Magnetic or Electronic Devices

A team of researchers from Clarkson University has recently announced a significant conclusion that could have huge impacts on the futuristic growth of the nano-manufacturing industry. Their research to develop a model that will help in the process of random sequential adsorption (RSA) highlights that even a small doubt in the location of the lattice landing sites can majorly affect the density of the deposit that has been permanently formed.

Researchers Use Nano Optical Cavity to Mix Molecules with Light

Generally, a blink of light emitted by a molecule does not ever return back. This theory has been altered now by a team of researchers who have found a way to place single molecules in an extremely tiny optical cavity that emitted light particles, or photons, return to the molecule before they have left properly. The energy swings back and forth between molecule and light, resulting in a full mix of the two.
