Researchers at the University of Basel and the ETH in Zurich have succeeded in changing the polarity of a special ferromagnet ...

Researchers have used laser light to draw electronic circuits directly onto flexible films, sculpting 2D materials without chemicals, photolithography, or cleanrooms. (Nanowerk Spotlight) What if you ...

A group of scientists led by the US Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has designed a monocrystalline mini solar panel that can convert laser light into electricity.

Expensive semiconductor laser diodes have no tolerance for fast voltage or current transients. To minimize the risk of damage, a standard JFET-clamp circuit shorts the laser when there is no supply ...

a, the ultrafast laser writing setup. b, microscope images of the top view of a laser-written waveguide (the horizontal line) in ZnSe crystal, seen through different colours. The waveguide becomes ...

Talk about precision. New measurements of key wavelengths of ultraviolet light---down to a few millionths of a nanometer---are among the most precise ever reported and are improving calibrations of ...

This light activated remote switch circuit could be operated using a flashlight beam and could eb used for toggling a specified load from a distance using an external light source such as a flashlight ...

Optical waveguides are structures that guide and confine light within a small cross-sectional area. In nanophotonic circuits, waveguides are typically fabricated using high-refractive-index materials ...
