(Nanowerk News) Combining speed with incredible precision, a team of Molecular Foundry scientists and industry users developed a way to print extremely small devices on the tip of a glass fiber as ...

Natural compound eyes (NCEs) were first investigated by Robert Hooke in 1664 after he observed orderly arranged pearls in the cornea of a grey drone fly. These NCEs then inspired the development of ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Electronic devices have gotten much smaller and more efficient over the years but the design and underlying physics of today's optical lenses haven't changed much since antiquity.

Omega coated fiber tips mean the difference between Good and Great signal-to-noise ratio in your optical system. We demonstrate robust hard-oxide coated filter designs on the tips of the optical ...

We report on the first demonstration of a proof-of-principle optical fiber ‘meta-tip’, which integrates a phase-gradient plasmonic metasurface on the fiber tip. For illustration and validation ...

Figure 1. Photothermal synergistic TPP hydrogen detection system integrated at the tip of an optical fiber. (a) A 3D schematic of the fiber-optic TPP tip illuminated simultaneously by a halogen light ...
