Electromagnetic momentum and optical forces have emerged as pivotal concepts in modern optical science, bridging fundamental physics and advanced technological applications. At its core, ...

Chirality is the property that the structure is not superposable on its mirrored image. Chiral materials exhibit the characteristic feature that they respond differently to left- and right-circularly ...

Complex fluids, such as polymer melts and concentrated suspensions, are foundational materials for industrial products, ...

Scientists succeeded in imaging the photocatalytic function of nanoparticles with unprecedently high resolution, which may provide a new tool for nanotechnology and optical manipulation of tiny ...

Optical manipulation of matter by using the mechanical action of light is one of the vibrant subjects of micro and nanoscience. In 2018 a Nobel Prize of physics was awarded to Arthur Ashkin for the ...

A method of optically selecting and sorting nanoparticles according to their quantum mechanical properties has been developed by researchers in Japan. The method could prove a crucial tool for makers ...

Astronomers at MIT, Columbia University, and elsewhere have used NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to peer through the dust of nearby galaxies and into the aftermath of a black hole's stellar ...

Communication between cells in living systems is a complex process, but known to involve small structures termed vesicles that transport material within and outside the cell. Nanoscale extracellular ...

A significant advance in 'optical tweezer' technology will help boost biomedical research. Much like the Jedis in Star Wars use 'the force' to control objects from a distance, scientists can use light ...

High-performance optical components supplier Fujitsu Optical Components (FOC) ZR/ZR+ modules, white box switch/router solution provider UfiSpace and networking solutions company DriveNets have ...
