Fundamental research – a luxury?
Andreas Müller from the Technische Universität München and part of the Excellence Cluster Universe asks “Do we need fundamental research?” in the newest issue of the Journal of Unsolved Questions (JUnQ).
Chemical Imaging of Living Organisms
Quantum cascade lasers enable the quick and efficient real-time mid-infrared microspectroscopy of living microorganisms.
Topological Insulators for All-Optical Signal Processing
By combining a third-order nonlinear optical material, topological insulator, and microfiber, an all-optical processing device is successfully prepared.
Advanced Optical Materials – February Issue Covers
Check out the articles highlighted on the covers of the latest issue of Advanced Optical Materials.
Patterning Solution – Direct patterning of ZnO thin films
Researchers in Troyes, France have developed a cheap and efficient method of direct patterning ZnO films, using laser interferential lithography to selectively remove ZnO in well-controlled patterns, without the use of a photoresist.
International Year of Light: 3D μ-printing
Three-dimensional μ-printing is a mature technology, enabling novel research fields in various disciplines based on three-dimensional microstructure.
Anisotropic interlayer coupling in atomically thin ReS2
Atomically thin transition-metal-dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have recently attracted a lot of research interest. Like graphene, they can be prepared as two-dimensional crystals by exfoliation. Unlike graphene, they are semiconductors with large band gaps, which make them...
