Along with curbing the energy consumption of any microelectronics that incorporate it, the new design could reduce the number of transistors needed to store certain data by as much as 75%.
Researchers show the realization of coupled light vortices by means of optical metasurfaces. The results will have impact on fields as diverse as microscopy, optical communications and photonics simulations.
Researchers found a magnetic property in a class of materials that enables light manipulation on the nanoscale, with implications for applications such as information storage and energy harvesting.
The researchers behind an energy system that makes it possible to capture solar energy, store it for up to eighteen years and release it when and where it is needed have now taken the system a step further. After previously demonstrating how the energy can be extracted as heat, they have now succeeded in getting the system to produce electricity, by connecting it to a thermoelectric generator.
Researchers propose a new method to form an electron lens that will help reduce installation costs for electron microscopes with atomic resolution, proliferating their use. Instead of the electrostatic and magnetic fields employed in conventional electron lenses, they utilized a light field electron-lens.
