Unraveling the origin of extremely bright quantum emitters

Feb 27, 2025 have discovered the fundamental properties of single-photon emittersat an oxide/semiconductor interface, which could be crucial for scalable quantum technology. (Nanowerk News) Many next-generation quantum devices rely on single-photon emitters based on optically active defects in solids, known as color centers. Understanding their properties is fundamental to developing...

Optical nanoscopy without the ON/OFF

Feb 27, 2025 Researchers achieved nanometer-scale resolution without requiring a dark state, expanding super-resolution imaging to non-fluorescent molecules and non-optical waves. (Nanowerk News) STED and PALM/STORM microscopy, as well as all other super-resolution fluorescence microscopes, provide resolutions of a fraction of the wavelength of light (nanometers). However, to image adjacent...
