Electrically driven nanogap antennas and quantum tunneling regime
The optical and electrical characteristics of electrically-driven nanogap antennas are extremely sensitive to the nanogap region where the fields are tightly confined and electrons and photons can interplay. Upon injecting electrons in the nanogap, a conductance channel opens between …

Sub-Hz closed loop electro-optomechanical oscillator with Gallium phosphide photonic crystal integrated on SoI circuitry
We report on a new approach of a low phase noise electro-optomechanical oscillator directly working in the GHz frequency range. The developed nano-scale oscillator is a one-dimensional photonic crystal made of GaP, heterogeneously integrated on silicon-on-insulator circuitry. Based on …

Skyrmions : Nanoscale sources of magnetic waves
Physicists from the Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (C2N), along with their colleagues in France, have uncovered a new method to generate spin waves using nanoscale particles known as skyrmions within a ferromagnetic material. Their findings, recently published in …

Forecasting extreme events using partial information from a spatiotemporally chaotic microlaser
Extreme events are rare and intense phenomena found in a variety of situations occurring in hydrodynamics (oceanic rogue waves), earth sciences (earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods), finance (market crashes, bubbles), biology (epileptic seizures) and social sciences (crime waves, mass migrations). …
