Introducing Surface Plasmon Resonance Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is an optical detection technique commonly used to study biomolecular interactions. SPR is highly-sensitive to changes in the ...

Introduction to Superconductors (Traditional) Superconductivity was first discovered in 1911 by Heike Kamerlingh Onnes when he found Mercury to have an abrupt drop in electrical resistance at a temperature ...

Nanowires are truly one-dimensional structures that are long in one direction and short on the lateral dimension. This dimensional reduction gives rise to interesting new phenomena such as quantized ...

  An Introduction to Nanophotonics: Something Big from Something Small In recent years there has been a lot of work with nanophotonics in optical physics and engineering. This is a part of the rising ...

Photoelectronic devices combine the vast use of electronics for processing information with the detection and the manipulation of light. Devices such as photodiodes are useful for detecting incoming light ...

New Changes in the Hands of the Everyday Individual: Photonics in Wearable Technology With rapid advancements in common devices like phones and watches, technology has become more prominent in everyday ...

Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication system enables vehicles to wirelessly exchange information about their speed, location, and traffic information. The technology behind V2V communication allows ...

Optogenetics is the emerging field of using light to control and study neuronal activity. In 2005, a Stanford University team was able to use a light-sensitive microbial protein to control the timing of ...

Crystals are periodic structures in space. They are used in the electronics industry to control and manipulate electrons. These structures create energy gaps by allowing only electrons with certain ...

Small mechanical systems and optics are interlinked in many ways. People use lasers to create small electronic systems like those found in semiconductors. Increasingly, light plays an important role in ...
