At any given moment, 89,000 terawatts of solar power hits the Earth’s surface. While significant advancements have been made in harvesting this power, existing technologies do not capture the full ...

The study of nanoparticles and plasmonic phenomena has emerged as a vibrant field at the intersection of physics, chemistry and materials science. Nanoparticles—structures with dimensions in the ...

At any given moment, 89,000 terawatts of raw solar power is slamming into the Earth’s atmosphere. It is a mind-boggling ...

Photothermal therapies utilize photosensitizing agents to convert applied light into heat. This release of energy results in localized damage to targeted cells or other therapeutic effects. Plasmonic ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Sciences; DOI 10.29026/oes.2024.240011 , discusses control of light–matter interactions in two-dimensional materials with nanoparticle-on-mirror structures.

This exchange is almost inevitable whenever plasmonic nanostructures come up in a discussion. Now, researchers from the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) and international ...

Electron Beam Lithography is a high-resolution patterning technique that uses a focused electron beam to write patterns on a substrate coated with an electron-sensitive resist. After developing the ...

This article presents a method for developing elastic nanoarchitected metamaterials with tunable optical responses.

Air quality has been deteriorating throughout the world due to emissions from power plants, automobiles, and industrial processes. In addition, organics used in indoor building materials, carpets, ...

A near-infrared light beam appears harmless, as it is a low-frequency type of light that does not have a dramatic effect but ...

A firefly drifts above a plain, featureless ground, its glow spreading broadly and fading into the dark—beautiful yet unfocused, long believed to be its natural fate. However, as the firefly crosses ...
