Researchers from laboratory Matériaux et Phénomènes Quantiques have shown that crystalline nanomechanical resonators are affected by surface fluctuation mechanisms that are ubiquitous in condensed matter. High-Q nanomechanical resonators are becoming central with the...
A research team of the Materials and Quantum Phenomena laboratory (University Paris Diderot/CNRS) has developed a new class of far-infrared sensitive detectors that are very fast and operate at room temperature. This scientific breakthrough will accelerate the use of...
A collaboration between the QUAD and DON teams has resulted in the development of a new, high-speed device for detecting Terahertz waves. This sensor combines concepts from electromagnetics and nano-optomechanics. While visible light plays a prominent role in our...
The manipulation of an atom and a molecule using a scanning tunneling microscope has enabled the construction of a nano-object with modifiable electronic and mechanical properties based on the position of the atom within the molecule. The goal of nanotechnology is to...
