Researchers have created a nanoscale structure that traps infrared light in a 40-nanometre layer, over 1000 times thinner ...

Asymmetric optical transmission refers to the engineered phenomenon whereby light propagates with different efficiencies in opposite directions within a photonic structure. This effect is achieved by ...

Researchers have created a nanoscale structure that traps infrared light in a layer just 40 nanometres thick, over 1,000 ...

Nudibranchs are often referred to as the butterflies of the sea. Nudibranchs live worldwide, primarily in warm, shallow ...

Researchers used their new technique to fold a glass bar (a), create an optical resonator (b) to achieve helical bending (c) and to create a table with a parabolic reflector (middle, lower row).

Light moving through a tiny silicon structure does not look dramatic. It slips down narrow waveguides etched onto a chip, ...

Researchers at The City College of New York have shown how a quantum emitter, the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond, interacts in unexpected ways with a specially engineered photonic structure ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The vibrant blue of a morpho butterfly's wings doesn't come from pigments but from light interacting with microscopic structures on its surface. This phenomenon – structural color ...
