A new technique for the production of plasmonics devices

Researchers have improved on the technique of local processing of composites based on nanoporous glass with addition of silver and copper; now, it is possible to predict with high accuracy the optical properties of a plasmonic component.

For next-generation semiconductors, 2D tops 3D

Researchers have developed a memory device using a two-dimensional layered-structure material, unlocking the possibility of commercializing the next-generation memory device that can be stably operated at a low power.

New materials for extra thin computer chips

For a long time, something important has been regularly neglected in electronics: If you want to make electronic components smaller and smaller, you also need the right insulator materials.

Tiny bubbles make a quantum leap

Using sophisticated optical microscopy techniques, engineers demonstrate that sufficient strain in 2D material can yield single-photon emitters, key to quantum technologies and future photonic circuitry.
