Precision machining produces tiny, light-guiding cubes for advancing info tech

 

Video description

Drilling with the beam of an electron microscope, scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory precisely machined tiny electrically conductive cubes that interact with light and organized them in patterned structures that confine and relay light’s electromagnetic signal. This demonstration is a step toward faster computer chips and more perceptive sensors. Click here to learn more.
