Research Highlights

In a time where global positioning devices are cheap and plentiful, it's actually becoming harder than ever to define where exactly 'here' is. For example, global processes such as plate tectonics

Nanopillars such as these can produce light using electrons bouncing around inside them. See this paper for more information. Discoveries in nanotechnology are leading to new classes of optical
