A new ground for the creation of memory elements for light

Posted on by Haptic

A group of physicists from Russia, Sweden, and the U.S. has demonstrated a highly unusual optical effect: They managed to “virtually” absorb light using a material that has no light-absorbing capacity. The research findings, published in Optica, break new ground for the creation of memory elements for light. The absorption of electromagnetic radiation — light, among other things — is Read more about A new ground for the creation of memory elements for light[…]

A new nano-scale thin film material with the highest-ever conductivity in its class

Posted on by Haptic

A team of researchers, led by the University of Minnesota, have discovered a new nano-scale thin film material with the highest-ever conductivity in its class. The new material could lead to smaller, faster, and more powerful electronics, as well as more efficient solar cells. The discovery is being published today in Nature Communications, an open Read more about A new nano-scale thin film material with the highest-ever conductivity in its class[…]

New Low-Cost Method to Produce Light-based Lab-on-a-Chip Devices for Fast Medical Tests

Posted on by Haptic

A new fabrication process could make it easier and less expensive to incorporate optical sensing onto lab-on-a-chip devices. These devices integrate laboratory functions onto a plastic or glass “chip” typically no more than a few square centimeters in size, allowing automated testing in the doctor’s office or various types of chemical or biological analysis with Read more about New Low-Cost Method to Produce Light-based Lab-on-a-Chip Devices for Fast Medical Tests[…]
