Researchers explore the prospects for creating photonic integrated circuits

New research refutes claims of plasmon amplification on the non-stationary graphene surface, thus providing the groundwork for the theoretical description of electromagnetic phenomena in non-stationary microwaveguides.

Give it the plasma treatment: Strong adhesion without adhesives

Researchers bond polymers to glass and metal by using surface chemistry rather than adhesives, opening doors to potential use in food production and medicine.

Metamaterials lead the way to treatments by travelling through 'innerspace'

The films Innerspace (1987) and Fantastic Voyage (1966) saw microscopic motors whirling through the human body to check and improve its health. Minus the human pilots, similar mini molecular machines could soon bring the curative powers of these sci-fi classics closer to reality.
