Sub-femtometer-resolution absolute spectroscopy based on dual electro-optic frequency comb
Jul 11, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Optical frequency comb (OFC) provides equidistant comb lines in broad bandwidth, and each comb line corresponds to an absolute optical frequency, which is similar as a comb (or rule) in optical frequency. As the development of femtosecond mode-locked laser and nonlinear optics, in 1999, research...

Engineering living hydrogels
Jul 11, 2022 (Nanowerk Spotlight) Hydrogels are fascinating natural or synthetic polymer materials that exhibit very versatile chemistries and physical or biological properties. They are 3D networks of either physically or chemically cross-linked polymers that resemble organic tissues and that can hold large amounts of water within their interlocked molecular...
Nanoparticles can save historic buildings
Jul 11, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Many historical buildings were built of limestone, such as Vienna's St. Stephen's Cathedral. Limestone is easy to work with, but does not withstand weathering well. It consists mainly of calcite minerals that are relatively weakly bound to each other, which is why parts of the...

What do molecules look like?
Jul 11, 2022 (Nanowerk News) A molecule is a group of atoms bonded together. Molecules make up nearly everything around you – your skin, your chair, even your food. They vary in size, but are extremely small. You can’t see an individual molecule with your eyes or even a microscope....
