Lasers bond quantum dots into 3D structures Forward this email  View in your browser THE WEEK IN PHYSICS: 10–14 OCTOBER Advertisement How to Select the Right Nanopositioning System Our tutorial outlines different types of nanopositioning concepts, how stage metrology selection relates to precision and dynamics, the benefits and drawbacks of parallel and serial kinematic designs, the requirements on controller / interfacing options, and finally, the role of software. Get started. Q&A: Sean Gourley applies AI to war and shopping In satisfying his curiosity about everything from nanoclusters to insurgent groups, the physicist has found a niche as an entrepreneur. Toni Feder Time-reversed laser absorbs nearly all light A simple design overcomes a substantial limitation on the potential applications for coherent perfect absorbers. Heather M. Hill Advertisement Alumina—First Option for Demanding Applications Alumina provides high temperature strength and stability when applications demand performance where metals can't survive. Parts don't wear and resist most chemicals. Alumina is readily available in standard forms and can be ground with desired features to tightest of tolerances. Learn more. FROM THE VAULT: April 2018 Newton didn't frame hypotheses. Why should we? The success of a grant proposal shouldn't hinge on whether the research is driven by a hypothesis, especially in the physical sciences. Scott Milner Webinar Live Webinar: Using A Scanning Tunneling Microscope To Study Luminescence In 2D Materials Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is a powerful tool to study the morphology and electronic structure of novel 2D materials. We have recently developed a light-collection and light-injection device that is compatible with an adapted low-temperature STM operating in UHV. Register now. Lasers bond quantum dots into 3D structures A new nanoprinting technique employs semiconducting quantum dots without the need for messy polymers. Heather M. Hill New books: October 2022 A listing of newly published books spanning several genres of the physical sciences. Webinar Live Webinar: Innovative Femtosecond Lasers for Multiphoton Applications With advances in ultrashort pulses in the sub 50 fs regime, fiber-based femtosecond lasers have become a cost-efficient laser source for multiphoton applications. In this webinar we introduce femtosecond fiber laser technology and explore different applications in biomedical imaging, polymerization as well as in-line quality screening via terahertz spectroscopy.
