Nanofabrication method paves way for new optical devices
10-05-2007 · EurekAlert!An innovative and inexpensive way of making nanomaterials on a large scale, developed at Northwestern University, has resulted in novel forms of advanced materials that pave the way for exceptional and unexpected optical properties. These include optical nanomaterials called "plasmonic metamaterials." The new fabrication technique, known as soft lithography, offers many significant advantages over existing techniques, including the ability to scale-up the manufacturing process to produce devices in large quantities.

- Zanzibar study paves way for mass co-delivery of three antiparasitic drugs
01-22-2008 · EurekAlert!
Findings from a new study in Zanzibar, published Jan. 23 in PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, pave the way for the World Health Organization to recommend the mass co-delivery of three antiparasitic drugs for the first time. The study shows the safety of delivering three drugs simultaneously -- ivermectin, albendazole and praziquantel -- in order to tackle three diseases, elephantiasis, soil-transmitted worms, and schistosomiasis.

- Taming tiny, unruly waves for nano optics
10-08-2007 · EurekAlert!
Nanoscale devices present a unique challenge to any optical technology -- there's just not enough room for light to travel in a straight line. As light waves are pressed through surfaces only a few nanometers apart (smaller than their wavelength), they become unstable and difficult to predict. But Georgia Tech researchers have discovered a method of predicting the behavior of light on the nanoscale during radiation heat transfer, opening the door to the design of a spectrum of new nanodevices and technologies.

- Stanford researchers predict a new state of matter in semiconductors
12-14-2006 · EurekAlert!
Conventional matter exists in three familiar forms-solid, liquid and gas. But under special circumstances, quantum theory predicts exotic states of matter, such as superconductors in which electrons flow with no resistance and Bose-Einstein condensates in which atoms move as a collective whole. Now, in the December 15 issue of the journal Science, three Stanford physicists theorize a new state of matter that may pave the way for electronic devices that dissipate less energy and generate less heat.

- Quantum dot lasers -- 1 dot makes all the difference
04-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
Physicists at NIST and Stanford and Northwestern Universities have built micron-sized solid-state lasers in which a single quantum dot can play a dominant role in the device's performance. These highly efficient optical devices could one day produce the ultimate low-power laser for telecommunications, optical computing and optical standards.
