The shape, size and optical properties of 3-dimensional nanostructures can now be simulated in advance before they are produced directly with high precision on a wide variety of surfaces. Nanoprobes ...

A University of Tsukuba researcher describes a new method for obtaining conjugated polymers in a helical configuration. By using twisted liquid crystals as a template, the resulting polymers were ...

Researchers found a metal with conductivity and polarity that shows second harmonic generation, an optical effect usually limited to non-metals. (Nanowerk News) An international research team led by ...

In an era where autonomous navigation, medical diagnostics and remote sensing are rapidly evolving, traditional cameras— limited to capturing only the red, green, and blue (RGB) light intensities—are ...
