• Physicist Yuri Kivshar on Russian Science, Career Management and Metaoptics

  …he physical processes that happen when photons interact with nanoscale objects. For a long time, nanophotonics was all about metals. How so? Well, because metals have a negative refraction index: if a wave hits metal, it is reflected entirely. Metal acts like a mirror, and the wave barely penetrates it. And nanophotonics is precisely about how light can be localized …

• Scientists Taught Fluorescent Microscope to Automatically Adapt to Any Sample

  … of visualising the internal structure of living cells and small organisms. Therefore, this method is currently in demand in biology and medicine. However, non-uniformity of the refraction index of the sample results in a distorted or aberrated image. Scientists and engineers are constantly looking for ways to compensate for aberrations and improve image quality.    …
