• METANANO-2016: Danish Scientist on Reasons for Investing in Science

  …bvious that the quantum optics market is immense: if I were to create a quantum communication channel that can't be hacked into, I'd get loads of money. Another trend in photonics ITMO participates in is biophotonics. This area deals with research functional possibilities of infrared rays in medium-wave band, for instance, for conduc…
