Masoud Kaveh-Baghbadorani, a doctoral student in the University of Cincinnati’s physics program, will present this research on March 4, at the American Physical Society Meeting in Denver.</a><br><a href="http://www.uc.edu/news/NR.aspx?id=19277"><br>The research focuses on exciting collective oscillations of metal electrons called plasmons, and on directing light through nanometer-thin metal films, about a thousand times thinner than a human hair. The result could empower integrated circuits or facilitate a super-lens with seven times the strength of a standard microscope, opening further research into fields such as studying microorganisms and viruses. </a><br><br><a href="http://www.uc.edu/news/NR.aspx?id=19277">READ MORE ON THE UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI </a>
