Warm atoms for a long memory: Implementing quantum computing
One of the exciting potential applications of electromagnetically induced transparency and slow and stored light is for practical realization of quantum memory, and, ultimately, quantum computing. Recent advances using ensembles of warm atoms in vapor cells have been made.
The need for speed: Developing coherent Raman scattering
Coherent Raman scattering methods have one key advantage over spontaneous Raman microscopy: speed. The (sub-)microsecond pixel dwell times offered by narrowband CRS imaging methods have initiated a new era of chemical imaging applications in biology and biomedicine.
Nanoparticles on their way through the body – Medicine in miniature
Which pathways do nanomedicines take after they have been swallowed? Scientists find a recirculation pathway of polymeric micelles using multimodal nonlinear optical microscopy.
Printing with Lasers: Making Electronics Quick and Easy
A European research team has made a breakthrough in the printing of organic electronics.
