Leti has developed an acousto-microfluidic technology which manipulates micro- and nanoscale samples with evanescent sound waves. The technique is envisioned to replace existing technology, which uses high-frequency propagative surface acoustic waves (leaky SAW) to move microscopic samples on complex substrates. The technique generates an evanescent Bessel beam in the low-frequency ultrasound (kHz) range. Thanks to the enhanced radiation force ...

Bacteria can grow optically-active tellurium nano-rods, according to the University of Houston. Optoelectronic and photonic devices could benefit. The current discovery grew out of 30 years of basic research, stemming from an initial discovery of selenite-respiring bacteria that form discrete packets of elemental selenium. “From there, it was a step down the periodic table to ...

Researchers at the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have used atoms to decode digital signals encoded by phase modulation. The atoms, cesium in this case, are ‘Rydberg atoms’ – atoms that have been wound up into a high energy state that is extremely sensitive to electric and magnetic fields. In this case the atoms were ...
