 Harvey Nathanson, 'father of MEMS,' dies at 83
- Nathanson’s achievements include a microscopic device used as a tuner for microelectric radios, which became the first device in the MEMS field. Karen Lightman, executive director of Metro 21 at CMU, met Nathanson about 20 years ago, around the formation of the MEMS industry. “He played a huge role in helping transition this technology from ...

 Understanding color at a nanoscale
- Some of the most vibrantly colored creatures in the animal kingdom don't owe their amazing colors to pigment. Instead, they cover themselves with microscopic structures that fine tune the way they reflect light. Now, these animals are inspiring a new generation of nanotechnology. Understanding why these structures occur in nature, and how we ...

 Heat energy leaps through empty space, thanks to quantum weirdness
- Though this interaction is only significant on very short length scales, it could have profound implications for the design of computer chips and other nanoscale electronic components where heat dissipation is key. It also upends what many of us learned about heat transfer in high school physics. “Heat is usually conducted in a solid through ...

 Demonstration of ultrafast and energy-efficient all-optical switching with graphene and plasmonic waveguides
- NTT and Tokyo Tech developed an all-optical switch operating in the ultrafast regime (less than one picosecond) with low energy consumption by combining an extremely small optical nanoscale waveguide based on plasmonics4 with graphene (Fig. 2a). The main points are as follows. [1] Enhancement of absorption and nonlinear optical effect5 in ...
