##Single-photon emission enhancement#seen as step toward quantum technologies Researchers have demonstrated a new way to enhance the emission of single photons by using yperbolic metamaterials,
Optical metamaterials harness clouds of electrons called surface plasmons to manipulate and control light. Purdue University researchers had created previously uperlatticesfrom layers of the metal titanium nitride and the dielectric,
the new metamaterial is compatible with the complementary metalxideemiconductor manufacturing process used to construct integrated circuits.
The metamaterial is said to be hyperbolic, meaning it possesses unique properties leading to the increased output of light.
In new findings the researchers have demonstrated how attaching nanodiamonds containing itrogen-vacancy centersto the new metamaterial further enhances the production of single photons, workhorses of quantum information processing,
cryptography and communications technologies. hese results indicate that the brightness of the nanodiamond-based single-photon emitter could be enhanced substantially by placing such an emitter on the surface of the hyperbolic metamaterial,
Placing a nanodiamond containing an NV center on the surface of hyperbolic metamaterials not only enhances the emission of photons,
Metamaterials have engineered surfaces that contain features, patterns or elements, such as tiny antennas or alternating layers of nitrides that enable unprecedented control of light.
Future research may include work to improve the system with devices that combine the hyperbolic metamaterial with nanoantennas
Light interaction with graphene produces particles called plasmons while light interacting with hbn produces phonons.
the plasmons and phonons can couple, producing a strong resonance. The properties of the graphene allow precise control over light,
To reduce demand on the grid during peak periods, users can also take part in demand management programs offered by their energy company
when their home is exporting excess energy to the grid, households with solar PV systems can save additional money by programming their system to run certain appliances
which has also been adapted for use on King Island Smart grid. e want to give households an energy management tool that is simple to use
The company is initially focusing on grid-scale installations, used to help smooth out power loads
simulations of water flow in carbon nanotubes could only be carried out under unrealistically high flow-rate conditions says the Director of CNMM, Quanshui Zheng. hanks to World Community Grid,
For the first time, Harvard researchers have created similar wakes of light-like waves moving on a metallic surface, called surface plasmons,
The creation and control of surface plasmon wakes could lead to new types of plasmonic couplers
Surface plasmons are confined to the surface of a metal. In order to create wakes through them Capasso team designed a faster-than-light running wave of charge along a one-dimensional metamaterial like a powerboat speeding across a lake.
The metamaterial, a nanostructure of rotated slits etched into a gold film, changes the phase of the surface plasmons generated at each slit relative to each other,
increasing the velocity of the running wave. The nanostructure also acts like the boat rudder, allowing the wakes to be steered by controlling the speed of the running wave.
The team discovered that the angle of incidence of the light shining onto the metamaterial provides an additional measure of control
as urface plasmons are not visible to the eye or cameras, said co-lead author Antonio Ambrosio of SEAS and the Italian Research Council (CNR).
we used an experimental technique that forces plasmons from the surface, collects them via fiber optics and records the image.

or vials of plasma down to technology that would require less than a single drop. He worked more than two years in industry, developing lab-on-a-chip technology for Medimate B. V,
Energy trapped on the surface of the nanocube in this fashion is called a plasmon. The plasmon creates an intense electromagnetic field between the silver nanocube
and a thin sheet of gold placed a mere 20 atoms away. This field interacts with quantum dotspheres of semiconducting material just six nanometers widehat are sandwiched in between the nanocube and the gold.
like grid power in India and Bangladesh, is by its nature intermittent, and refrigerators need constant power.
Eventually they settled on a thermal energy storage system that uses a phase-change material to store energy in the form of ice.
When the grid is operating a portion of the material freezes, and the battery circulates that thermal energy into a heat exchanger to keep milk chilled over the course of the day.

#Cold plasma technique helps wounds heal quicker 29 june 2015medical researchers in Germany have developed a technique which,
The treatment method uses cold plasma as a healing agent, the first time this has been used on human beings.
or cold plasma. ll you feel is a slight tickling sensation, said Prof Wolfgang Viöl of the Fraunhofer Institute for Surface Engineering and Thin Films,
The plasma kills bacteria on the skin surface while the electrical fields stimulate microcirculation in the blood vessels, bringing more oxygen into the affected area;
but plasma achieves a better effect in a shorter period of time, he said. Working with Cinogy, the researchers developed a portable unit that powers the treatment device. e had to develop a device that was small
and reduce the amount of energy being imported from the grid by offsetting that with the energy in the battery.
The unit stores 2 to 4 kilowatt hours, enough energy to watch television for 14 or 28 hours or wash two to four full loads in the washing machine.
