Kirigami-Inspired Technique Manipulates Light at Nanoscale
Researchers have applied the principles of kirigami — the traditional art of paper folding and cutting — to the fabrication of advanced 3D nanodevices for manipulating light. The team believes that “nanokirigami” could offer an intelligent 3D nanofabrication method beyond traditional bottom-up, top-down, and self-assembly nanofabrication techniques.

Hollow Glass WGR Improves Nanoparticle Detection
A newly fabricated whispering gallery resonator (WGR), in the form of a tiny glass bubble just a hair’s breadth wide, has demonstrated the ability to detect the presence of minute particles more effectively than existing WGRs. The hollow glass microbubbles used for the new sensing regime allow it to move beyond limitations of the evanescent field.

Liquid-Based White LEDs Achieve High Luminous Efficiency
Quantum dot (QD) white LEDs that show a luminous efficiency of 105 lm/W have been developed. The QDs are liquid-based and, according to researchers, could help the LEDs achieve an efficiency double that of LEDs that incorporate quantum dots in solid films. With further development, researchers say the new LEDs could reach efficiencies over 200 lm/W.

Luminescent Lighting Supports Arctic Greenhouse
In an autonomous greenhouse being piloted for Arctic conditions, scientists are testing the use of polycrystalline luminescent materials for lighting. Since these materials efficiently convert UV radiation into visible, high-thermal characteristics, the team believes the materials will help ensure a long service life for the solid-state light sources that will be used in the greenhouse.
