Caltech Scientists First to Trap Light and Sound Vibrations Together in Nanocrystal (Caltech Today)
Researchers at Caltech have created a nanoscale crystal device that, for the first time, allows scientists to confine both light and sound vibrations in the same tiny space. “This is a whole new concept,” notes Oskar Painter, associate professor of applied physics and the principal investigator on the paper describing the work. “People have known how to manipulate light, and they’ve known how to …
