During this time of uncertainty and societal lock down, making progress on research can be difficult. Access to facilities, personnel, and vendor resources can be limited given everyone’s collective effort to work remotely and flatten the curve. Herzan is fortunate to support and partner with some of the most innovative groups combating the pandemic and … Continue reading
Prof. Ido Kaminer and team have made a dramatic breakthrough in the field of quantum science: a quantum microscope that records the flow of light, enabling the direct observation of light trapped inside a photonic crystal. Their research, “Coherent Interaction between Free Electrons and a Photonic Cavity,” was published in Nature. All the experiments were performed … Continue reading
Researchers at Boston University needed to isolate mechanical noise from a custom metrology platform, consisting of a MEMs accelerometer. This accelerometer had been re-purposed to perform a sensitive, room temperature measurement of the Casimir force. The Casimir force is a small, pN-scale force that arises between metallic surfaces at < 1 um separation due to … Continue reading
