The scientists at the City University of Hong Kong (CityU) have announced a noteworthy breakthrough in the development of a passive radiative cooling (PRC) material.

In this interview, AzoNano speaks to Professor Moti Segev and Professor Vladimir Shalaev, who made surprising discoveries about photonic time crystals that challenge existing research and theories.

Among 2D dichalcogenide transition metals (TMDs), Molybdenum Ditelluride (MoTe2) has gained significant applications in the field of nanotechnology due to its fascinating optical and electronic properties.

Open access notables In this weeks government/NGO reports section, another rapid assessment by World Weather Attribution, an outfit dedicated to keeping us informed of the impacts of climate change on weather events happening around us right now. WWAs new report Climate change more than doubled the likelihood of extreme fire weather conditions in Eastern Canada finds:

Semiconductor materials play an important part in developing nanophotonic technologies. Semiconductors are used for generating controllable photons as well as for confining and exploiting them for useful applications.

We examined the generation and transfer of heat when laser irradiation is applied to water containing a suspension of gold nanorods coated with different polyelectrolytes. The ubiquitous well plate was used as the geometry for these studies. The predictions of a finite element model were compared to experimental measurements. It is found that relatively high fluences must be applied in order to generate biologically relevant changes in temperature. This is due to the significant lateral heat tra...

The degree to which light can be confined determines the intensity and precision of light-based devices. It also sets the limits within which nanopart

Cathodoluminescence in an SEM was used to reveal the optical properties of nanophotonic materials far below the diffraction limit.

Physics and Astronomy students presented 11 posters at the Fall Undergraduate Research Festival (FURF) Nov. 2 at the University Capitol Centre. The Iowa Center for Research by Undergraduates hosts FURF, held in celebration and recognition of undergraduate researchers' contributions to research, scholarly, and creative work at the University of Iowa.

A recent study in Optical Materials investigates the beaming effect of a plasmonic metalens with elliptical nanohole arrays in a metal film using experimental techniques and geometric simulations.
