The field of photonics comprehends the generation, manipulation and detection of light (photons). Over the past decades, it has underpinned many of the technological advances upon which we rely on a ...
The efficient interaction of photons with single quantum emitters like nitrogen vacancy (NV) centres is essential for the elaboration of future integrated quantum optical devices. A promising strategy ...
Nanotechnology was named one of the key enabling technologies by the European Commission and its tremendous impact was envisioned early by 20th century physicist R.Feynman in his now oft-quoted talk ...
Optical trapping and manipulation have emerged as powerful tools to investigate single microscopic objects in a controlled environment. Using the momentum carried by light, forces can be exerted to ...
Point-of-care (POC) devices are compact, mobile and fast detection platforms expected to advance early diagnosis, treatment monitoring and personalized healthcare, and revolutionize today’s healthcare ...
In the last decades, optics has become central in many applications in modern society. Nano-optics, which studies the behavior of light at the nanoscale, holds promise to do the same. However, when using ...
Levitodynamics is a fast growing field that studies the levitation and manipulation of micro- and nanoobjects, fuelled by both fundamental physics questions and technological applications. Due to the ...
The field of levitation optomechanics---or levitodynamics---studies the manipulation and control of small trapped objects in an isolated environment, providing a gateway to answer fundamental questions ...
Levitodynamics addresses the levitation and manipulation of micro- and nanoresonators with the purpose of studying their dynamics. This emerging field has attracted much attention over the last few years ...
The potential impact of noble metal nanoparticles (NPs) in diverse fields, particularly medicine, is tremendous. However, before NPs can be routinely used in clinical practices, it is fundamental to ...
