The cascade to criticality
Researchers at C2N (CNRS/Université Paris-Saclay), PhLAM laboratory (CNRS/Univ. de Lille) and ETH Zurich have unveiled a novel mechanism describing how criticality - a phase in which waves are neither extended nor localized but in a so-called “critical state” - …

Amplifying a weak signal by manipulating the nonlinear resonance in a nano-electromechanical resonator
A team of researchers at C2N has experimentally demonstrated an enhancement by more than an order of magnitude of a weak electrical signal thanks to nano-electromechanical resonator. Their results, supported by theory, illustrate a general mechanism which potentially applies …

Generation of a guided-wave “Bessel-Gaussian” beam using an integrated 2D array of plasmonic nanoresonators
Researchers at the Centre de Nanosciences et de Nanotechnologies (C2N), in collaboration with Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire Carnot de Bourgogne (ICB) have demonstrated the generation of a non-diffractive guided-wave optical beam over a long distance. The exploited concept of Bessel beam, …
