(Nanowerk News) From the motion sensor to the computer chip - in many products of daily life components are used whose functioning is based on smallest structures of the size of thousandths - or even ...

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 ...

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 publication from Opto-Electronic Advances, DOI 10.29026/oea.2022.210101 discusses a highly sensitive and fast response optical strain sensor. The authors of this article propose a highly ...

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 ...

At the heart of every camera is a sensor, whether that sensor is a collection of light-detecting pixels or a strip of 35-millimeter film. But what happens when you want to take a picture of something ...
