NextInput, Inc., the leader in MEMS-based sensing solutions, announced today the tenth smartphone model with its technology is in mass production. The 10 models have shipped in millions of units world-wide, with half of them being flagships. In these phones, NextInput enables in-display functionality, including 3-D screen for an immersive ...
Additive manufacturing of nanoscale structures has been made possible with a so-called ‘tractor beam’ that manipulates and fabricates different materials. Focused laser light generates an optical ‘tractor beam,’ which can manipulate and orient ...
Using a new time-based method to control light from a laser, researchers have developed a nanoscale 3-D printing technique that can fabricate tiny structures a thousand times faster than conventional two-photon lithography (TPL) techniques without sacrificing resolution. Despite the high throughput, the new parallelized technique — known as ...
Invisible infrared light accounts for half of all solar radiation on the Earth's surface, yet ordinary solar energy systems have limited ability in converting it to power. A breakthrough in research at KTH could change that. "We have achieved a 10 percent increase in efficiency without yet optimizing the technology," Ågren says. "With a little ...
Masiello and Camden believed it would be possible to design and construct a system that would exhibit Fano interferences using nanoscale plasmonic components. But, creating this effect would require an extremely precise electron beam, in which the electrons all have approximately the same kinetic energy. The researchers teamed up with Juan ...
