    Electrical-gain-assisted circularly polarized photodetection based on chiral plasmonic metamaterials

    Structure and principle

    The architecture of our proposed CPL detector is illustrated in Fig. 1b. The device is constructed on an Ag substrate, which is overlaid with a SiO2 dielectric layer. This bilayer configuration primarily functions as a rear…

    Beet fringes and dimples | Nature Physics

    It was previously hypothesized that the fringe appears because the porous beet slice absorbs some of the juice around it. Now, Zhengyang Liu and colleagues have shown that a capillary rise of the contact line creates a depression in the thin film…

    Fractional computing | Nature Physics

    We highlight how an abstract piece of condensed-matter physics — the fractional quantum Hall effect — may be ideally placed to implement quantum computers.

    One of the few subfields of physics that…

  • DNA based nanoscale optoelectronic devices enabled by THz driven piezo vibrotronic effect

    DNA based nanoscale optoelectronic devices enabled by THz driven piezo vibrotronic effect

    We have analyzed electrical current flowing through DNA under varying mechanical strains and irradiation conditions to investigate the piezo-vibrotronic effect in DNA nanowires. The aim is to elucidate the underlying factors that govern the…
