Editorial: Breakthroughs in Photonics 2012

The breakthroughs of 2012.

www.sciencemag.org SCIENCE VOL 338 21 DECEMBER 2012 1503 COVER Mosaic of the CMS and ATLAS detectors (as in 2007), part of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. In 2012, research teams used these detectors to fi ngerprint decay products from the long-sought Higgs boson and determine its mass, successfully testing a key prediction of the standard model of particle physics. See the Breakthrough of t...

2012: Signaling breakthroughs of the year.

Members of the Editorial Board nominated as signaling breakthroughs insights gained from the "mega"--large-scale systems analyses--and the "micro"--protein structures--along with new findings in metabolism and genetics. In addition, research studies that may lead to new therapeutic avenues for cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease were selected as breakthroughs, along with the identificatio...

Editorial: Photonic Integration and Photonics–Electronics Convergence on Silicon Platform

Citation: Yamada K (2015) Editorial: Photonic integration and photonics–electronics convergence on silicon platform. Silicon-based photonics technology, which is based on the same paradigm of silicon (Si) electronics technology, promises to provide us with a compact photonic integration platform with high integration density, mass manufacturing, and excellent cost performance. This technology h...
