Graphene flakes acting as photonic nanoantennas sustain strong electromagnetic field localization and enhancement. To exploit the field enhancement, quantum emitters such as atoms or molecules should be positioned in such close proximity to the flake that

Biomolecular, particularly DNA, thermodynamics are frequently determined via van't Hoff analysis of optically-measured melt curves. The popularity of this approach is a result of both the ready availability of high resolution melt (HRM) curve data as a
Low-total-force contact resonance force microscopy (LTF-CRFM), an atomic force microscopy method, is introduced as a means to quantify the local viscoelastic loss tangent of cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs). The method limits static and dynamic forces during

Implementation of hybrid nanoparticles (HNPs), consisting of two different metal components, into applied systems has been hindered by an incomplete understanding of structural and chemical properties responsible for their enhanced, yet inconsistent
There is a pressing need for reliable, reproducible and accurate measurements of graphene's properties. To facilitate industrial growth, several documentary measurement standards are under development within the Nanotechnologies committees of both ISO 229
Single-photon detection via absorption in current-biased nanoscale superconducting structures has become a preferred technology in quantum optics and related fields. Single-mode fiber packaged devices have seen new records set in detection efficiency
A unique bifocal compound eye visual system is found in the extinct trilobites Dalmanitina socilis which enabled them to be sensitive to the light-field information and simultaneously perceive both close and distant objects in the environment. Here
In this paper, I review the notion of a quantum network, which I define as one that can distribute entanglement between stationary qubits, and then discuss challenges relevant for the Optical Fiber Conference (OFC).
