Micro-optics have become an essential component in many modern technologies. This can be credited to the perpetually growing needs of communication bandwidths for increas[...]

Plasmonic metamaterials are artificially structured materials with the inclusion of metallic elements regarded as macroscopically uniform mediums. These materials showcas[...]

Metasurfaces have been of increasing interest in the scientific community due to their consistent ability to efficiently reproduce traditional optical elements via quasi-[...]

There is wide variability in sexual potency rates (9 - 86%) after nerve-sparing prostate cancer surgery due to limited knowledge of the location of the cavernous nerves ([...]

Recently, there is an increasing demand for III-nitride semiconductor based optoelectronic devices, and especially for ultraviolet (UV) and Deep UV sources and sensors; h[...]

In this study, we used scattering-scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM) to experimentally characterize several structures relevant to infrared (IR) antenna tech[...]

Recently, small radio-controllable aircraft known as quadrotors, or quadcopters, have become very popular. These aircraft have the ability to vertically takeoff and move [...]

We have developed a new processing method, light-assisted drying (LAD), to create an amorphous trehalose matrix for the stabilization and storage of proteins. A challenge[...]
