Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) led by Prof. ZHANG Douguo have unveiled a planar optical device that significantly enhances the capabilities of dark-field ...

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 ...

Sum-frequency generation (SFG) is a powerful vibrational spectroscopy that can selectively probe molecular structures at surfaces and interfaces, but its spatial resolution has been limited to the ...

Pushing optical imaging below the diffraction limit usually requires complicated illumination schemes and still suffers from ...

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 ...

Ars Technica has been separating the signal from the noise for over 25 years. With our unique combination of technical savvy and wide-ranging interest in the technological arts and sciences, Ars is ...

When you think about highly-precise actuators, stepper motors probably aren’t the first device that comes to mind. However, as [Diffraction Limited]’s sub-micron capable micro-manipulator shows, they ...

Pushing optical imaging below the diffraction limit usually requires complicated illumination schemes and still suffers from weak, unstable signals ...
