Carbon Nanotubes Emerge as Potential Quantum Light Sources
Carbon Nanotubes Emerge as Potential Quantum Light Sources
Researchers report on the potential of carbon nanotubes as single-photon emitters for quantum information processing. Scientists in the U.S. and Europe are investigating the single-photon purity, generation efficiency, and indistinguishability of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs).

Superresolution Microscopy Method Could Enhance DNA Nanostructure Design
Superresolution Microscopy Method Could Enhance DNA Nanostructure Design
A method of superresolution microscopy, called DNA-PAINT, allows all of the strands within DNA-based nanostructures to be visualized individually, with a high degree of spatial resolution. Using DNA-PAINT, researchers can directly visualize all components of the DNA origami structure and determine how well the DNA strands have self-assembled.

Freeform Optics Design Approach Uses Starting-Point Geometries
Freeform Optics Design Approach Uses Starting-Point Geometries
Researchers have developed a step-by-step design method for determining which freeform surfaces will work best in a given configuration. The new method, which combines theory and practice, could eliminate the time-consuming, expensive process of using trial-and-error to determine which freeform surfaces will best achieve the desired result.

Nanolaser Changes Colors Like a Chameleon
Nanolaser Changes Colors Like a Chameleon
A new nanolaser, with a design inspired by nature, can change color using the same nanomechanics that a chameleon uses. A chameleon changes color by controlling the spacing of nanocrystals on its skin. The nanolaser exploits periodic arrays of metal nanoparticles on a stretchable, polymer matrix in a similar way.

Optogenetics Shapes Tissue to Reconstruct Epithelial Folding
Optogenetics Shapes Tissue to Reconstruct Epithelial Folding
Using optogenetics, researchers have guided the folding and shaping (morphogenesis) of tissues and cells that otherwise would not undergo this process. Researchers used precise light-mediated control of protein activity in biological tissues to reconstruct epithelial folding in embryonic Drosophila tissues.
