Ultrafast response speeds from a pyroelectric photodetector are achieved by coupling a plasmonic nanogap cavity metasurface to an aluminum-nitride pyroelectric layer. The metasurface converts light i...

Coral reefs depend on a symbiotic partnership between corals and microscopic algae. New research shows heat stress can disrupt oxygen regulation at the coral surface, increasing the risk of bleaching and mortality. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
New funding opportunity from the Symbiosis in Aquatic Systems Initiative. We’re inviting teams of two researchers to pursue ambitious, high-risk projects advancing aquatic symbiosis (marine + freshwater).

#RFP #AquaticSymbiosis
“One of the biggest obstacles in quantum computing is finding a material environment that is quiet enough for qubits to survive,” says Experimental Physics Investigator Wei Guo. New research suggests frozen neon may help.
