New Publication “A general theoretical and experimental framework for nanoscale electromagnetism”

New Publication “A general theoretical and experimental framework for nanoscale electromagnetism”

Dec 12, 2019 | News Articles

The macroscopic electromagnetic boundary conditions, which have been established for over a century, are essential for the understanding of photonics at macroscopic length scales. Even state-of-the-art nanoplasmonic studies, exemplars of extremely interface-localized...

Andrew Dane awarded Best Poster at the 706th W.E. Heraeus Seminar

Nov 17, 2019 | News Articles

Congratulations to Andrew Dane, who won the best poster award at the 706th W.E. Heraeus Seminar, titled Superconducting Kinetic Inductances for his work on high-Q superconducting niobium resonators incorporating nanoscale quasiparticle traps. Details regarding his...
New Publication “Focused-helium-ion-beam blow forming of nanostructures: radiation damage and nanofabrication”

New Publication “Focused-helium-ion-beam blow forming of nanostructures: radiation damage and nanofabrication”

Nov 14, 2019 | News Articles

Targeted irradiation of nanostructures by a finely focused ion beam provides routes to improved control of material modification and understanding of the physics of interactions between ion beams and nanomaterials. Here, we studied radiation damage in crystalline...

New Publication “Design and characterization of superconducting nanowire-based processors for acceleration of deep neural network training”

Oct 22, 2019 | News Articles

Training of deep neural networks (DNNs) is a computationally intensive task and requires massive volumes of data transfer. Performing these operations with the conventional von Neumann architectures creates unmanageable time and power costs. Recent studies have shown...
New Publication “Detecting Sub-GeV Dark Matter with Superconducting Nanowires”

New Publication “Detecting Sub-GeV Dark Matter with Superconducting Nanowires”

Oct 10, 2019 | News Articles, Uncategorized

We propose the use of superconducting nanowires as both target and sensor for direct detection of sub-GeV dark matter. With excellent sensitivity to small energy deposits on electrons and demonstrated low dark counts, such devices could be used to probe electron...
New Publication “Investigation of ma-N 2400 series photoresist as an electron-beam resist for superconducting nanoscale devices”

New Publication “Investigation of ma-N 2400 series photoresist as an electron-beam resist for superconducting nanoscale devices”

Sep 27, 2019 | News Articles

Superconducting nanowire-based devices are increasingly being used in complex circuits for applications such as photon detection and amplification. To keep up with the growing circuit complexity, nanowire processing is moving from single layer fabrication to...
