The phenomenon found in the Rice lab of physicist Junichiro Kono could be key to developing optoelectronic devices like nanoscale, near-infrared lasers that emit continuous beams at wavelengths too short to be produced by current technology. The new ...
Nuclear fusion, the process that powers our sun, happens when nuclear reactions between light elements produce heavier ones. It's also happening -- at a smaller scale -- in a lab. Using a compact but powerful laser to heat arrays of ordered nanowires ...
By integrating microfabrication techniques with high-performance composite materials that can incorporate flexural joints and bending actuators, they recently created a robot that’s the size of a penny. The milliDelta can operate with high speed ...
Research groups at Harvard University and the Argonne National Laboratory, USA, have now teamed up to create a dynamic metasurface lens, by marrying the metalens with an electrically controllable microelectromechanical system (MEMS) mirror (APL Photon.,
Optics and Photonics News: 2018-03-08 - MEMS technology
As Materials Today puts it, “Usually, microelectronic devices are made of silicon or similar semiconductors. Recently, the electronic properties of metal oxides have become quite interesting. These materials are more complex, yet offer a broader range of ...
