Nanophotonics is the study of light-matter interactions between light and objects on the nanometer scale. The length scales involved in nanophotonics are of such great scientific interest because the ...

Just as nanoplasmonics reveals the fascinating interplay between light and metal nanoparticles, nanophotonics ventures into the broader realm of light manipulation at the nanometer scale. It explores ...

Medical diagnosis relies on accurate information. For many diseases, the most valuable and specific diagnostic information is obtained from laboratory-based diagnostic tests to check for specific ...

Applied research into the candle would have never led to the lightbulb. As a species, our fascination with light has led to many amazing discoveries and inventions that have fundamentally changed how ...

Nanophotonics experts have created a unique sensor that amplifies the optical signature of molecules by about 100 billion times. Newly published tests found the device could accurately identify the ...

Ben Eggleton receives funding from the Australian Research Council, the NSW Department of Trade and Investment and The US Air Force Office of Research. He is on the Council of the Australian Optical ...

Nature Photonics spoke to Pierre Berini — pioneer of plasmon waveguides — to get some perspective on how nanophotonics has evolved over the past decade and where it is heading. We first met in 2006 at ...

Researchers have found a way to convert the spin information into a predictable light signal at room temperature. The discovery brings the worlds of spintronics and nanophotonics closer together and ...

Experts in Europe have published a report that outlines the opportunities and challenges facing the emerging field of nanophotonics. Does nanophotonics have an identity problem? Is it receiving the ...

In nanophotonics, tiny structures are used to control light at the nanoscale and render it useful for technological applications. A key element here is optical resonators, which trap and amplify light ...
