Carbon nanotubes can glow brilliantly when light is absorbed by a flat sheet of atoms acting as an antenna to direct that energy into the tubes. This breakthrough might help create future tiny ...

In a recent article published in Nature communications*, researchers described a technique of capturing two-dimensional (2D) light patterns into deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and using high-throughput ...

A technical paper titled “A biological camera that captures and stores images directly into DNA” was published by researchers at National University of Singapore. “The increasing integration between ...

Laser diodes are semiconductors that generate light and amplify it using repeated reflection or ‘optical feedback’. Once the light has achieved desirable optical gain, laser diodes release it as ...
