Cutting-Edge Science With Roots in Ancient Rome: All About Nanophotonics
Nanotechnologies have been a hot topic for over 15 years now, while nanophotonics still remains known to the rare few. It is a brand new interdisciplinary field at the intersection of optics, laser physics, materials science, physical chemistry, physics, and chemistry of solids, nanostructures, and nanotechnologies. What does this discipline study and where can this research be applied? In this article, Ivan Toftul and George Zograf, PhD students at ITMO’s Faculty of Physics and Engineering, help us answer these questions.
