  Jerusalem (SPX) Jan 20, 2017 Chip scale high precision measurements of physical quantities such as temperature, pressure and refractive index have become common with nanophotonics and nanoplasmonics resonance cavities. As excellent transducers to convert small variations in the local refractive index into measurable spectral shifts, resonance cavities are being used extensively in a variety of disciplines ranging from bio-sensing and pressure gauges to atomic and molecular spectroscopy. Chip-scale microring and microdis ... read more |

As self-evident as it is that matter exists, its origins are just as mysterious. According to the principles of particle physics, when the universe was originally formed equal amounts of matter and antimatter would have been created, which then should have destroyed each other in a process that physicists call annihilation.
But in reality, our universe shows a manifest imbalance in favor o ... more Can the donut-shaped magnet 'CAPPuccino submarine' hunt for dark matter? Traffic jam in empty space Light source discovery 'challenges basic assumption' of physics |
