Slim photonic crystals imprison light waves in 3D

Catching light

Willem Vos, Professor of Applied Physics at the UT, together with colleagues from Twente and Japan, have managed to design a thin, so-called, photonic crystal to trap and even manipulate light. The scientists found that their new slim design functions as well as traditional thick 3-D crystals. The thin size increases their application potential tremendously, for example, in the telecom industry and in solar panels.

Een wanhoopsgreep, want ik deed eerder al een veel gerichtere oproep via radio 1twente. ‘Universitair docent is op zeuk noar een wieslippe’: een slimme student die Twents spreekt en de rol van Twents in (digitale) gezondheidszorg wil onderzoeken. Er meldde zich niemand.
