The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA, USA) has awarded a grant on “Long wave infrared photodetectors based on nano-optics and two dimensional materials” to Ken Crozier with Professor Ali Javey (University of Caifornia-Berkeley) as co-PI.
Tim James and Ann Roberts are co-authors with Paul Mulvaney of a paper recently published in Nano Letters: ‘The Plasmonic Pixel: Large Area, Wide Gamut Color Reproduction Using Aluminum Nanostructures.’ Nano Letters. DOI: 10.1021/acs.nanolett.6b01250, The images below show a rendering in aluminium nanostructures (right) of the photograph on the left.
