Bamidele Ali is an accomplished engineer and seasoned business leader charged with developing a multi-million dollar 3D printing strategy for the Global materials company, DSM. After being ranked in ...

A new metasurface design greatly improves light emission in atomically thin materials, offering a path to low-power, flexible ...

Pair densities within multiply occupied lattice sites are very high due to the strong confinement in the lattice. When resonantly illuminated, such pairs undergo light assisted collisions and ...

In the natural world, many things come in mirror-image pairs. Your left and right hands are a perfect example—they look alike ...

Photonic lattices are materials specially designed to cage light. By shaking the mesh of the cage, we can see how light, initially passing freely, finds its room for manoeuvre progressively ...

Lattice light sheet microscopy is a newer light sheet microscopy technique that is primarily used in biological settings. It is a method that uses sheets of light in a lattice conformation to take ...

In a wavelength lattice, the physicists trapped up to 400 rubidium atoms, so that the atoms sat in the dents of the electromagnetic potential of the light beams like eggs in a carton. Once thus ...

Back in the late 1990’s, though, Hidetoshi Katori realized that you can play a trick here that lets you use a lattice in a clock: for certain very specific frequencies of light, the upper state ...

The researchers used ultrashort laser pulse excitation to optically stimulate specific atomic vibrations of the magnet’s crystal lattice. (Credit: Lancaster University) Intense laser pulses can turn ...

Laser beams generate a standing-wave light field between the two reflectors. Physicists speak of an optical lattice that can be roughly likened to an egg carton. Cooled rubidium atoms are loaded into ...
