The shape, size and optical properties of 3-dimensional nanostructures can now be simulated in advance before they are produced directly with high precision on a wide variety of surfaces. Nanoprobes ...

Diamonds with certain optically active defects can be used as highly sensitive sensors or qubits for quantum computers, where the quantum information is stored in the electron spin state of these ...

Researchers found a metal with conductivity and polarity that shows second harmonic generation, an optical effect usually limited to non-metals. (Nanowerk News) An international research team led by ...
