Dec 22, 2020 (Nanowerk News) Northwestern researchers have developed a new microscopy method that allows scientists to see the building blocks of "smart" materials being formed at the nanoscale. The chemical process is set to transform the future of clean water and medicines and for the first time people will...
Experiment takes ‘snapshots’ of light, stops light, uses light to change properties of matter
Dec 25, 2020 (Nanowerk News) Light travels at a speed of about 300,000,000 meters per second as light particles, photons, or equivalently as electromagnetic field waves. Experiments led by Hrvoje Petek, an H.K. Mellon professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy examined ideas surrounding the origins of light, taking...
