New quasiparticle discovered in moire patterns
Nov 07, 2022 (Nanowerk News) If you hold one wire mesh on top of another one and look through it, you'll see a larger pattern called a moiré pattern formed by the overlapping grids of the two meshes, which depends on their relative twisted angle. Scientists developing new materials are...
Clever method for separating nano-components
Nov 07, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Physicists from Friedrich Schiller University Jena, together with colleagues from Düsseldorf, Gothenburg, Lyngby and Trieste have developed an ingenious solution for separating bonded nano-components. Their idea is to immerse the nano-components in a solvent near its critical point. In the experimental setup, they succeeded in...
A prime candidate for quantum networks
Nov 07, 2022 (Nanowerk News) A team of researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ) has pioneered the integration of erbium atoms with special optical properties into a silicon crystal. The atoms can thus be connected by light at a wavelength that is commonly used in telecommunications....
displaying optical image at the nanoscale resolution
Nov 07, 2022 (Nanowerk News) There is a long-standing folk art in China called "rice carving", which is to carve lifelike artistic patterns on rice with a length of only about 5 mm, which need to be appreciated with a magnifying glass, as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1. Rice...
