Researchers built a silver-grooved chip that channels laser energy into nanometer-spaced peaks, beating the diffraction limit and aiding light-matter studies. (Nanowerk News) Physics is full of pesky ...

(a) Working principle of metasurface displacement measurement can be understood as the detection of the power of different modes of the converted light. The incident irradiated on the metasurface and ...

Nanoscopy is a field of microscopy that focuses on imaging and studying structures and processes at the nanoscale, typically below the diffraction limit of light. It encompasses various techniques ...

Physicists at The City College of New York have developed a technique with the potential to enhance optical data storage capacity in diamonds. This is possible by multiplexing the storage in the ...

Sum-frequency generation (SFG) is a powerful vibrational spectroscopy that can selectively probe molecular structures at surfaces and interfaces, but its spatial resolution has been limited to the ...

Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) have unveiled a planar optical device that significantly enhances the capabilities of dark-field microscopy, achieving ...

For over a century, light has both helped and limited our view of the tiny world. Microscopes use light to magnify cells, microbes, and nanomaterials—but light also behaves like a wave, and waves ...

Attempts to break the diffraction limit with 'super lenses' have all hit the hurdle of extreme visual losses. Now physicists have shown a new pathway to achieve superlensing with minimal losses, ...

A technical paper titled “Scalable nanopatterning of organic light-emitting diodes beyond the diffraction limit” was published by researchers at ETH Zurich, University of Alberta, Indian Institute of ...
