• What a Twist: Silicon Nanoantennas Turned Light Around

  …Photons — carriers of electromagnetic radiation — have neither mass nor electric charge. For this reason, the light is relatively hard to control, unlike, for example, electrons: their flow in electronic circuits can be controlled by constant electric field. However, such devices as nanoantennas can achieve a certain degree of control over the propagation of electrom…

• World’s Science Day: What Are the Cherished Dreams of Researchers?

  … I was fascinated by duality of light’s nature — thanks to it I got interested in optics. Then I was inspired by the beauty of Maxwell’s equations, which unite electricity, magnetism and light. My current activity is related to new materials and their applications to nanophotonics. It is a rare pleasure to discover something new and realize that people need it. For …
