Bimetallic nanoantenna separates colors of light

Friday, September 23, 2011 - 10:30 in Physics & Chemistry

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have built a very simple nanoantenna that directs red and blue colours in opposite directions, even though the antenna is smaller than the wavelength of light. The findings – published in the online journal Nature Communications this week – can lead to optical nanosensors being able to detect very low concentrations of gases or biomolecules.
