• Physicists Create Crystal Lattice from Polaritons

  …lattice and confirmed that quantum effects in a photonic structure are indeed stronger. "Strictly speaking, we were dealing with polaritons rather than photons”, explains Dmitry Kryzhanovsky, Senior Researcher at ITMO University and professor at the University of Sheffield. “This hybrid condition occurs when excited electrons mix with photons. Such hybrid pa…

• Scientists Invent Method of Catching Bacteria with ‘Photonic Hook’

  …es. This is possible due to radiation pressure and gradient optical force. When some particle hits the region of the highest intensity of the beam, the gradient force keeps it inside the beam while radiation pressure pushes it along the curved path of energy flow propagation." Such a method of control over particles movement is promising for optofluidics. This t…
