• Physicists Conduct Study of Terahertz Radiation in Liquids

  …ly used in security systems used to detect illicit drugs and weapons, as well as for biomedical research. Most modern research involving terahertz radiation focuses on finding new, more stable, powerful and efficient sources. The most common sources of terahertz radiation are solid materials. In addition, there are sources based on femtosecond laser filamentation …

• Scientists Propose Tractor Beam Concept to Capture Particles Using Light

  …al surface). The flat substrate allowed researchers to work with the entire surface of the material instead of small areas, as is with classical plasmon tweezers. However, the new study showed that metamaterials based on flat structures that support both hyperbolic and plasmon modes can become an even better basis for tractor beams. Metasurfaces and metamaterials wor…

• 2018 Student of the Year Winners on Students’ Unions, Science, and Buddy Program

  …ne. This field has many possible applications, for one, in polariton lasers, which may serve as a platform for photon sources in quantum and optical computers. Thanks to these new devices, some calculations that we now believe impossible will soon become reality. For example, it now takes days and days to model the interaction of drugs and a human body or the traject…

  … gets a reward for every correct action it performs, and that’s how it learns. In this research, the robot plays the Mario Bros. videogame. The team wanted their AI to explore new paths, rather than just follow the same actions over and over. In the process of training, it learned not only to jump over hurdles, but also kill its enemies in order to survive. It basica…
