Is it Safe to Eat?

28/12/2020

Early warning systems for food contamination are taking a leap into a safer and healthier future with lab-on-a-chip monitoring technologies for the food industry being developed by Technion researchers within an EIT-Food Consortium. Food safety is crucial for food-producing companies from farm to fork, and fundamental to public health. Every year, over 23 million people… Read More

Spin-optics on an Atomic Scale: Chips of the Future

10/11/2020
Image: The incorporation of a WSe2 monolayer into a photonic crystal slab with geometric phase defects enables spin-dependent manipulation of the emission from valley excitons of the WSe2, as well as from randomly placed quantum emitters.

Researchers at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology have developed a new light source based on a single atomic layer. The discovery is based on the interaction of a single atomic layer with nano-antenna arrays in a silicon chip by creating defects in photonic crystals. Published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, the development enables… Read More
