Chip-Based Optical Sensors Developed with Incredible Sensitivity

This can be coupled to a light source to make a sensor." That type of sensor consists of solid spheres and is not compatible with microfabrication methods. However, the Penn State researchers developed an innovative way to grow on-chip glass microspherical ...

To Build the World’s Smallest Atomic Clock, Trap a Nitrogen Atom in a Carbon Cage

Commercial atomic clocks are usually the size of suitcases. In 2004, in a tour de force of microfabrication, scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology managed to shrink this entire setup into a stack of components a few millimeters high.

Lenses Are Being Reinvented, and Cameras Will Never Be the Same

It would allow lenses to be fabricated in the same plants as other microelectronic components, even at the same time. She and co show how this process is now possible. The key idea is that tiny features, smaller than the wavelength of light, can manipulate it.
