This illustration shows how annular holes in a thin gold film filled with silicon dioxide enable ultrastrong coupling between light and atomic vibrations. This structure provides opportunities to probe molecules ...

Fast, powerful compact lasers: a novel VCSEL for next-generation data centers and sensors. Courtesy: Volker Sorger/GWU. Researchers invent a novel vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser, the workhorses of datacenters and optical sensors. ...

A ground-breaking method to label and track manufactured nano-plastics could signal a paradigm shift in how we understand and care for environments, finds a new study. Nano-plastics are particles of ...

Figure shows (left) the concept of the terraced single-layer graphene formation. This is similar to the terraced paddy fields used widely in Asia for agriculture. (Right) Atomic force microscopy image ...

Members of the CEST group published a recent paper introducing a novel method to calculate CD spectra in the open source GPAW code. The publication shows that the implemented approach ...
