Hybrid Metal/Organic Nanowires Compensate for Metal Losses in Plasmonic Nanostructures

University of Cincinnati researchers are discovering how to manipulate light to one day better view the world’s tiniest objects through a super-lens, as well as how to hide an object in plain sight. Masoud Kaveh-Baghbadorani, a doctoral student in the University of Cincinnati’s physics program, will present this research on March 4, at the American Physical Society Meeting in Denver.

Nano-Optical Tweezers Utilize the Force of Light to Trap and Move Individual Nano-Objects

As science and technology go nano, scientists search for new tools to manipulate, observe and modify the "building blocks" of matter at the nanometer scale. With this in mind, the recent publication in Nature Nanotechnology in which ICFO researchers demonstrate for the first time the ability to use near-field optical tweezers to trap a nano-size object and manipulate it in the 3 dimensions of space, is an exciting achievement.

$Nanodiffraction Enables Study of Living Biological Cells$

Nanodiffraction Enables Study of Living Biological Cells

Göttingen-based scientists working at DESY's PETRA III research light source have carried out the first studies of living biological cells using high-energy X-rays. The new method shows clear differences in the internal cellular structure between living and dead, chemically fixed cells that are often analysed.

Two-Photon Laser Triggers Nanoparticles to Release Chemotherapy Drugs Directly in Tumor Cells

Researchers from UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have developed an innovative cancer-fighting technique in which custom-designed nanoparticles carry chemotherapy drugs directly to tumor cells and release their cargo when triggered by a two-photon laser in the infrared red wavelength.

Phonon Spectrometer Precisely Measures Subtle Movement of Heat in Nanostructures

How heat flows at the nanoscale can be very different than at larger scales. Understanding how surfaces affect the transport of the fundamental units of heat, called phonons, could impact everything from thermoelectric materials to microelectronic cooling devices.

Researchers Advance THz Spectroscopy for Detection of Explosives from Greater Distances

Standing in a full-body scanner at an airport isn't fun, and the process adds time and stress to a journey. It also raises privacy concerns. Researchers now report in ACS' The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters a more precise and direct method for using that "terahertz" (THz) technology to detect explosives from greater distances.
