Young scientists from ITMO University proposed a new type of optical nano-sensors. Their operating principle is based on the interaction of light in thin films: a similar effect can be observed in ...

A new propulsion method for metallic micro- and nano-objects has been developed. The process is based on the novel concept of bipolar electrochemistry: under the influence of an electric field, one ...

Optomechanics as a branch of physics allows to control the motion of mechanical systems through interaction with light. This successful synergy drove the development and widespread adoption of ...

Nano-sensors are devices that use nanotechnology to detect, measure, and respond to specific physical, chemical, or biological changes in the targeted environment at the nanoscale. 2 These highly ...
