How transparent can a layer of gold be?
Experiments have resulted in gold films with a theoretically expected transparency of over 80% in the visible range.
Liquid interface allows multiple interactions for detection
A liquid interface has the unique capability to provide a common meeting point for hydrophobic, hydrophilic and airborne species, allowing them all to interact.
Carbon nanotube broadband polarisers
Cole et al. report the fabrication of free-standing, horizontally aligned carbon nanotube membranes.
Hybrid graphene–giant nanocrystal quantum dot assemblies
New work shows that new class of nanocrystals coupled to graphene causes bi-excitons to experience recombination and simultaneous emission of photon pairs.
Forcing light into a log spiral
Singaporean researchers have used logarithmic spirals to study light-matter interaction at the microscale, and discovered a previously unknown phenomenon.
