Metasurface of self-assembled gold nanoparticles shown to improve resolution of fluorescence images of living cells under a widefield optical microscope to the theoretical limit.
Novel type of nonlinear photonic circuitry where light beams define their own paths while rendering themselves impervious to external perturbations.
Development of a phototransistor based on the characteristic of light to travel in a straight line while rotating. Possible to prevent unauthorized reproduction and wiretapping with high-performance, low-cost encryption devices.
Scientists and students publish blueprints for a cheaper single-molecule microscope to make the specialist technique more widely available.
The performance of flexible large-area organic photodiodes has advanced to the point that they can now offer advantages over conventional silicon photodiode technology, particularly for applications such as biomedical imaging and biometric monitoring that require detecting low levels of light across large areas.
