Force of light to move nanoscale machinery on a chip
admin @ February 9, 2009 #
The force exerted by photons is too weak to be felt in everyday life and can be neglected. But when used in nanosized photonic circuits this force produces mechanical effects.
Increasing the sensitivity of ALMA supertelescopes
admin @ February 9, 2009 #
Chris Lodewijk and Tony Zijlstra at Delft University of Technology’s Kavli Institute of Nanoscience have succeeded in drastically increasing the sensitivity of the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) supertelescopes in a crucial frequency range by improving the functioning of the major component, the radiation-sensor.
