Lasers

A new nanoscale laser uses optical origami to balance trapping and releasing light, paving the way for efficient integrated photonics.

Silicon nanoparticles dispersed in solution can be positioned by light and printed onto surfaces, or used in applications such as medical imaging and drug delivery.

The strength of steel comes from carbon, which is lost when steel is heated, resulting in weakening of the alloy. A*STAR researchers have found a way to overcome carbon loss with lasers.

Shooting electrons into hybrid light-matter particles on a surface could be the key to a new wave of compact X-ray machines
