Researchers Use Optical Tweezers to Assemble Nanoscale Components into Larger Structures

Researchers at the Ruhr-Universitat Bochum (RUB)’s Applied Laser Technologies lab have used laser beams to assemble microscopic components into bigger structures. In the future, this technology could enable the manufacture of machines and structures with dimensions of just a few microns, and could also help to design micro-robots. The study was led by Prof Dr. Cemal Esen from RUB. This technique.

Study Shows How Graphene-Based Nanostructures Capture Infrared Light

Capturing infrared light with graphene-based nanostructures has been demonstrated by scientists from CIC nanoGUNE, in partnership with Graphenea and ICFO. When light combines with graphene’s charge oscillation, the result is a mixture of charge oscillations and light referred to as plasmon, which can be compressed into minute volumes that are millions times smaller than those present in traditional dielectric optical cavities.

Novel Method for Controlling Particle Motion on Two-Dimensional Materials

Researchers from MIT and other institutions have discovered a new phenomenon of the behavior of plasmons (a kind of quasiparticle) as they move accross tiny ribbons of two-dimensional materials, such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD). These materials possess a hexagonal structure similar to chicken wire.
