Molecular Interferometry
Online Presentations | 26 Jun 2007 | Contributor(s):: David D. Nolte
While single-molecule detection through fluorescence has now become common-place, there has been no analogous single-molecule capability using direct detection approaches such as interferometry. This limitation is slowly yielding to high-speed interferoemtric detection that is pushing the...

Solid-State Lighting: An Opportunity for Nanotechnologists to Address the Energy Challenge
Online Presentations | 25 Apr 2007 | Contributor(s):: Timothy D. Sands
More than one-fifth of the electrical power consumed in the U.S. is used for general illumination. Much of this energy is wasted to heat filaments in incandescent lamps, a century-old technology with an efficiency of about 5%. Fluorescent lighting is more efficient, but problems of color quality,...
