We introduce a paradigm shift in light confinement strategy and show that light can be confined beyond the diffraction limit using transparent artificial media (all-dielectric metamaterials). Our ...

In the frozen reaches of the planet—glaciers, mountaintops, and icy groundwater—scientists have uncovered strange ...

Chemists at the School of Science of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have recently made ...

New results published in the journal Physical Review Letters detail how a specially designed metamaterial was able to tip the ...

This book is an expanded version of The Applied Dynamics of Ocean Surface Waves. It presents theoretical topics on ocean wave dynamics, including basic principles and applications in coastal and ...

Advanced ultrafast laser techniques achieve sub-10nm nanofabrication for semiconductors. Comprehensive review of near-field ...

By making electrons behave as waves, a collaboration of researchers from Israel and China has produced light with quantum effects, a necessary step towards controlling quantum computers ...

Interference-based optical image encryption has triggered much current attention due to its marked advantages, such as non-iterative operation. However, the precise alignment requirements of the phase ...
