New method promises precise delivery of bio samples into X-ray beams for analysis

The funnel consists of a specially shaped light beam that traps particles at its centre. In contrast to conventional opt…

The SLN facility at ICFO collaborates with CRAG to analyze the ripening process of tomatoes.

In order to fully understand the process of ripening in fruit and the behavior of the carotenoid gene expression in resp…

Frequency-agile laser frequency combs take real-time multicolour snapshots of absorbing samples.

Molecules absorb light at well-defined particular colours or optical frequencies. Usually such characteristic frequencie…

Impact to the Realization of Quantum Computers and Other Innovations

The collective behavior of Majorana particles—fermions that are equivalent to their own antiparticles—is different from…

THE CONCEPT OF CHEMICAL POTENTIAL CAN APPLY TO LIGHT

In a paper published in the journal Physical Review B the JQI theorists describe a generic approach to chemical potentia…

Paving the way for selecting a specific state of nonpolar molecules.

The electric field of the optical standing wave disperses the molecules, according to their rotational quantum numbers J…

An optical device at nanoscale which allows light to pass in only one direction has been developed at TU Wien (Vienna). It consists of alkali atoms which are coupled to ultrathin glass fibres.

If light is able to propagate from left to right, the opposite direction is usually allowed as well. A beam of light can…
