Whether in listening to music or pushing a swing in the playground, we are all familiar with resonances and how they amplify an effect—a sound or a movement, for example. However, in high-intensity ...

An unexpected discovery surprised a scientist: nanometer-sized diamond particles, which were intended for a completely different purpose, shone brightly in a magnetic resonance imaging experiment -- ...

Guided-mode resonance (GMR) arises when incident light is diffracted by a subwavelength grating into a leaky waveguide mode, yielding narrow spectral features in reflection or transmission. The ...
