Discovery is another step toward faster and more
energy-efficient optical devices for computation and communication
University of Minnesota electrical engineering researchers
have developed a unique nanoscale device that for the first time demonstrates
mechanical transportation of light. The discovery could have major implications
for creating faster and more efficient optical devices for computation and
communication.
The research paper by University of Minnesota electrical and
computer engineering assistant professor Mo Li and his graduate student Huan Li
has been published online and will appear in the October issue of Nature
Nanotechnology.
