The induction of the optofluidic force allows the characterization of the nanoparticles in real time

The induction of the optofluidic force allows the characterization of the nanoparticles in real time

Schemes of the optofluidic force induction scheme (OF2i). (a) The particles are immersed in a fluid and are pumped through a microfluidic channel. A weakly focused Laguerre-Gaussian laser beam with an OAM propagates in the same direction as the flow of the particles and exerts optical forces on the nanoparticles. By monitoring the scattered light …

New way to generate an entangled photon-based light source

Entanglement is a strange phenomenon in quantum physics in which two particles are intrinsically connected to each other, regardless of the distance between them. When one is measured, the other measure is instantaneously given. Purdue University researchers have proposed a novel and unconventional approach to generate a special light source composed of entangled photons. On …

Princeton chemists reveal the first path for introducing selenium into natural products

Princeton Chemistry researchers have discovered a biosynthetic pathway that incorporates selenium into small microbial molecules, marking the first time such atoms have been discovered in natural products and opening new avenues in selenobiology. Research also strongly suggests that selenium, an essential trace element in all realms of life, may play a more important biological role …
