MOF thin films, as porous materials, play a key role in many potential applications. Researchers at TU Graz have now ...

The LIG Nanowise SMAL (Super-Resolution Microsphere Amplifying Lens) is an optical device developed to capture lateral resolution beyond the diffraction limit offered by traditional microscopy. To ...

At 633 nm wavelength, the DSPP tip generated roughly six times the electric field strength of a comparable asymmetric double-slit probe. Stable nanofocusing held across a 580 to 800 nm range, with the ...

Narwhal-shaped wavefunctions describe a unique way of confining light to extremely small spaces. The mode volume measures how tightly light is confined and affects how strongly it interacts with ...

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 ...

When looking through a microscope, the level of detail that is visible isn't just about how much we magnify, but is actually determined by resolution. Resolution refers to the smallest distance ...

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 ...

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 ...
