Physicists Find Hidden “Quantum Mirrors” That Trap Light in 2D Materials By miniaturizing THz spectroscopy to a chip-scale platform, James McIver’s lab has uncovered a promising new method for controlling quantum materials. Under certain conditions, two-dimensional (2D)...

(4/7) The goal: to understand how species adapt to climate change, pesticide pressure, and habitat loss. Results could guide conservation, pest management, and even uncover hidden species.

Biologists at work: light trapping in the night

Here we go again: field resesarch 🧪🌳✨️
First #LightTrapping session for our @sfb1372.bsky.social #arthropod #biodiversity project in collaboration with @robertrollins1892.bsky.social in @genmig.bsky.social lab from the @ifv-whv.bsky.social 💡🦋 🕷🪲🦟
I just love the trap that looks like a 👻! Or 🪼?

Didn’t at all feel like going out and painting tonight but I’m glad I did. #lighttrapping #insects #painting

They Built a Crystal to Trap Light – And Found a New Kind of Quantum Link Researchers at Rice University have developed a sophisticated 3D photonic-crystal cavity that can trap and control light in unprecedented ways, unlocking powerful light-matter interactions. Their work...

A rainy afternoon spent pinning a couple of #moth captures from recent light-trapping sessions at home.

A recent light-trapping session on our block. Nothing like spitting out hapless termites while tightening a rope sagging under the weight of 10,000 beetles!
