Fusing Light With Heat: Polaritons for Nanoscale Thermal Transport & Sensing
07 Oct 2021 | | Contributor(s):: Thomas Beechem
Light exhibits a wave nature. Phonons do too. Within the infrared portion of the spectrum, these differing “waves” can interact to form hybrid energy carriers called polaritons. Polaritons, in turn, provide fundamental advantages for optical functionality and...

Novel Two-dimensional (2D) Materials and Devices for Biomimetic Sensing and Computing
16 Aug 2021 | | Contributor(s):: Saptarshi Das, NACK Network
Many animals outsmart humans in sensory skills. In fact, animals can do much more than just see, smell, touch, taste, and hear. For example, octopuses possess polarized vision, bats use ultrasound to echolocate, hyper touch sensitive spiders can trace the origin of micro-vibrations and sharks can...
