A major challenge for nanophotonics engineers is the wide range of optical responses that metamaterials and other nanoplasmonic structures can generate. In the past few years, machine learning has emerged as a powerful tool for sifting through this vast universe of possible design parameters to aid the design of nanophotonic devices tailored for specific applications. A novel approach uses a type of neural network called a mixture density network to solve the non-uniqueness problem of machine learning algorithms, while also improving accuracy.

Automatic approach could enable precision fabrication of optical components and multimaterial structures.
Researchers demonstrate a highly flexible but sturdy wearable piezoelectric harvester using the simple and easy fabrication process of hot pressing and tape casting.
Researchers have tested whether gold nanoparticles could be toxic to cells, finding how they affect lipid membranes depends on their size.
Researchers have created a smart drug delivery system that reduces inflammation in damaged nervous tissues and may help treat spinal cord injuries and other neurological disorders.
Scientists show that high-resolution movies of molecular dynamics can be recorded using electrons ejected from the molecule by an intense laser field.
Researchers have discovered that colloidal rods can be moved on a chip quickly, precisely, and in different directions, almost like chess pieces. A pre-programmed magnetic field even enables these controlled movements to occur simultaneously.
With a size 100 times smaller than an average human hair, the new detector can visualize features that are much smaller than previously possible, leading to what is known as super-resolution imaging.
Adding calcium to graphene creates an extremely promising superconductor, but where does the calcium go? In a new study, researchers have for the first time confirmed what actually happens to those calcium atoms.
