Controlling light at the micro- and nanoscale opens up opportunities for a better understanding of the world and the development of technology. As modern electronics approaches the limits of its ...

Ultra-uniform nanogratings of sub-50-nm periods and near-10-nm groove widths on HOPG can be stably and efficiently fabricated by high-NA focused femtosecond laser irradiation under water immersion.

Researchers from Rice University have published a new water-based methodology for manufacturing semiconductors containing patterns of metallic and semiconducting wires less than 10 nanometers wide.
