A research team led by Xuesong Mei and Jianlei Cui from Xi'an Jiaotong University has made significant progress in the field of nanotechnology. They have successfully achieved the direct writing of ...

Increasingly complex applications such as artificial intelligence require ever more powerful and power-hungry computers to run. Optical computing is a proposed solution to increase speed and power ...

Silicon, the cornerstone of modern electronics, photovoltaics, and photonics, has traditionally been limited to surface-level nanofabrication due to the challenges posed by existing lithographic ...

In most filled plastics, mismatches between micron-scale particles and refractive index can cause strong scattering. This shows up on a macroscopic scale as haze and loss of transmittance. When you ...

Introduction to SNOM: The Scanning Near-field Optical Microscope (SNOM) stands as a pivotal analytical tool in nanotechnology, enabling the visualization of nanostructures with resolution beyond the ...

Near-field optics operates on the principle that when light interacts with objects smaller than its wavelength, it can produce an evanescent wave that decays exponentially with distance but provides ...
