Green-gap lasing is a grand challenge that nonlinear nanophotonics has promise to address. Our research advances this by using Kerr optical parametric oscillation in silicon nitride microrings, pumped with a tunable 780 nm laser, to access the entire green gap (532-633 nm).

Optical phenomena are typically modeled with nearby interactions because interactions between optical elements generally decrease rapidly with distance. In the research from the Republic of Korea, scientists explored the impact of significant long-range interactions in topological photonics.

Since the 1960s, astronomers have wondered how the Sun's supersonic "solar wind," a stream of energetic particles that flows out into the Solar System, continues to receive energy once it leaves the Sun. Now, thanks to a lucky line up of two spacecraft currently in space studying the Sun, they may have discovered the answer.

Looking to extend the viability of human tissues, researchers report in ACS’ Nano Letters their efforts to facilitate completely freezing, rather than cooling and then thawing, potentially life-saving organs for transplant. They demonstrate a magnetic nanoparticle’s successful rewarming of animal tissues.
