Kanazawa gold leaf is a traditional Japanese material known for its remarkable thinness, just 100 nanometers—about 1/1,000 the diameter of a human hair—and its brilliant shine. The calcitic layers of ...

The field of integrated photonics has taken off in recent years. These microchips utilise light particles (photons) in their circuitry as opposed to the electronic circuits that, in many ways, form ...
