Device Bridges Optomechanics, Microfluidics
URBANA, Ill., June 10, 2013 — Whispering galleries — circular spaces beneath a dome that capture and amplify sound as quiet as a whisper — have inspired numerous scientific discoveries over the past several years. Now the phenomenon, discovered more than a century ago, has been applied to the development of an optomechanical sensor that will help unlock vibrational secrets of chemical and biological samples at the nanoscale. The device is the first-ever bridge between optomechanics and microfluidics, its developers say.
