Researchers Use Nano Optical Cavity to Mix Molecules with Light

Generally, a blink of light emitted by a molecule does not ever return back. This theory has been altered now by a team of researchers who have found a way to place single molecules in an extremely tiny optical cavity that emitted light particles, or photons, return to the molecule before they have left properly. The energy swings back and forth between molecule and light, resulting in a full mix of the two.

Researchers Use Graphene Sheet to Turn Electricity into Light

Airplanes exceeding the speed of sound create a shockwave that generates a popular “boom” of sound. Recently, a team of researchers from MIT and elsewhere found a similar method in a graphene sheet, where under a specific circumstance, a flow of electric current could surpass the speed of slowed-down light to generate a sort of optical “boom”, which really is a strong, focused beam of light.

Researcher Receives KiwiNet Emerging Innovator Fund to Develop Nano-Scale Magnetic Material

The KiwiNet Emerging Innovator Fund has awarded $20,000 to Dr Jérôme Leveneur, a researcher in the Environment and Materials division of GNS Science¹s National Isotope Centre, to create an innovative nano-scale magnetic material. The magnetic material composed of nanostructures created by Dr Leveneur is 1000 times thinner that a human hair. The material’s improved properties over the traditional magnetic materials can be attributed to its small scale. This latest development could be exploited to enhance the energy efficiency of inductors and transformers.
