What a Twist: Silicon Nanoantennas Turned Light Around
…Gbit/s. However, even modern electronics process these signals quite slowly: with speeds of only a few Gbit/s for a single item. The proposed nonlinear optical nanoantenna can solve this problem, since its performance reaches 250 Gbit/s. This pave the way for ultrafast processing of optical information. The nonlinear antenna developed by the researchers provides more…

Processing Dostoevsky — Scientists Use Optics for Studying Manuscripts
…rent chemical composition. Dostoevsky also used this ink to write letters, which he dated. So, by comparing the ink, we can tell when Dostoevsky wrote a particular note. To solve this task, scientists from ITMO University used methods of photospectrometry. They've developed a new device: a high-resolution camera is fixed atop a table with the manuscripts. The came…
