Minghui Hong and colleagues report super-critical-lens (SCL) optical label‐free microscopy, which clearly distinguishes a pattern with a feature size of 65 nm in air and with a 55 μm working distance.
Biosensors, metasurfaces, and a caterpillar robot is highlighted on the November covers of Advanced Optical Materials.
A study investigating the blue colouring of many tarantulas discovered that it arises due to multilayer interference, yet little or no iridescence is observed.
Jenoptik’s new laser cutting machine Votan ranks among the most precise systems in its class.
The versatility of studying polariton phenomena with fluorescent proteins in fully tunable optical microcavities is addressed.
High refractive index (HRI) materials play an important role in optic-electronic devices. They can be widely applied as encapsulating materials to increase external quantum efficiency in OLED devices and to enhance conversion efficiency in solar cell devices....
Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology have shown that so called plasmonic metasurfaces, ultrathin nanostructured solid materials, can be used for reflective color displays if functionalized with conductive polymers.
New method “rapidFLIM” for the dynamic Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (FLIM).
BMW Group believe that additive technologies will be one of the main production methods of the future
