Improving the optical efficiency in nanophotonic devices
A team of physicists has demonstrated the means to improve the optical loss characteristics and transmission efficiency of hexagonal boron nitride devices, enabling very small lasers and nanoscale optics.
Unlocking the secrets of nanoscale 3D printing
Researchers have discovered novel ways to extend the capabilities of two-photon lithography, a high-resolution 3D printing technique capable of producing nanoscale features smaller than one-hundredth the width of a human hair.
Leaving flatland - quantum Hall physics in 4D
Scientists implement a dynamical version of the 4D quantum Hall effect with ultracold atoms in an optical superlattice potential.
Graphene 'tattoo' sensor enables measurements of water use in crops
Researchers have developed a 'plant tattoo sensor' to take real-time, direct measurements of water use in crops.
Macrophage nanosponges could keep sepsis in check
A team of researchers has developed macrophage 'nanosponges', which are nanoparticles cloaked in the cell membranes of macrophages, that can safely absorb and remove molecules from the bloodstream that are known to trigger sepsis.
