Study in Nature: Engineers Find Better Way to Detect Nanoparticles
It’s long been thought that two’s company and three’s a crowd. But electrical and systems engineers at Washington University in St. Louis and their collaborators have shown that the addition of a third nanoscatterer, complementing two “tuning” nanoscatterers, to a photonics resonator makes for a fascinating physics party. Specifically, the two tuning nanoscatterers set the
