The indispensable requirement for sustainable development of human society has forced
almost all countries to seek highly efficient and cost‐effective ways to harvest and convert …

When metal nanoparticles are arranged in an ordered array, they may scatter light to
produce diffracted waves. If one of the diffracted waves then propagates in the plane of the …

Spin electronics is a rapidly expanding field stimulated by a strong synergy between
breakthrough basic research discoveries and industrial applications in the fields of magnetic …

This year the discovery of femtosecond demagnetization by laser pulses is 20 years old. For
the first time, this milestone work by Bigot and coworkers gave insight directly into the time …

Thermal radiation is one of the most universal physical phenomena, and its study has
played a key role in the history of modern physics. Our understanding of this subject has …

Recent years have seen a growing interest in using metal nanostructures to control
temperature on the nanoscale. Under illumination at its plasmonic resonance, a metal …

Nanostructured photonic materials enable control and manipulation of light at
subwavelength scales and exhibit unique optical functionalities. In particular, plasmonic …

The possibility of manipulating magnetic systems without applied magnetic fields have
attracted growing attention over the past fifteen years. The low-power manipulation of the …

Optical antennas are devices that convert freely propagating optical radiation into localized
energy, and vice versa. They enable the control and manipulation of optical fields at the …

The science of morality has drawn heavily on well-controlled but artificial laboratory settings.
To study everyday morality, we repeatedly assessed moral or immoral acts and experiences …
