Light measures the minute motion of nanoscale vocal cords
13.06.13 - Researchers at FOM Institute AMOLF in Amsterdam and EPFL in Lausanne have developed a new way to measure tiny displacements with light. By confining plasmons in a resonant cavity that is only 20 nanometers wide, they could precisely measure mechanical motion smaller than the size of an atom. Their work is published this week in the journal Nano Letters.
