Abstract Optical tweezers are tools made of light that enable contactless pushing, trapping, and manipulation objects, ranging from atoms to space sails. Since the pioneering work by Arthur Ashkin in 1970s, optical have evolved into sophisticated instruments been employed a broad range applications life sciences, physics, engineering. These include accurate force torque measurement at femtonewt...

Abstract Magnonics is a budding research field in nanomagnetism and nanoscience that addresses the use of spin waves (magnons) to transmit, store, process information. The rapid advancements this during last one decade terms upsurge papers, review articles, citations, proposals devices as well introduction new sub-topics prompted us present first roadmap on magnonics. This collection 22 section...

Abstract Topological photonics seeks to control the behaviour of light through design protected topological modes in photonic structures. While this approach originated from studying electrons solid-state materials, it has since blossomed into a field that is at very forefront search for new types matter. This can have real implications future technologies by harnessing robustness applications ...

Abstract Alloys of sulfur, selenium and tellurium, often referred to as chalcogenide semiconductors, offer a highly versatile, compositionally-controllable material platform for variety passive active photonic applications. They are optically nonlinear, photoconductive materials with wide transmission windows that present various high- low-index dielectric, low-epsilon plasmonic properties acro...
