Facebook X LinkedIn Email
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14, 2011 — A physicist who made a breakthrough in the field of superconducting detectors and a scientist working on the development of nanophotonic devices for optical communications and on-chip biosensing are two of eight photonics-related researchers to each receive a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) from President Barack Obama. They each will be given a research grant lasting up to five years at a ceremony today in Washington. Benjamin Mazin, assistant professor in the department of physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara, received a PECASE...Read full article

    anisotropy
    Anisotropy refers to the property of exhibiting different values or characteristics when measured in different directions. In various fields, including physics, materials science, and geology, anisotropy is commonly used to describe the directional dependence of certain properties or behaviors within a material or system. Key points about anisotropy include: Directional dependence: Anisotropic materials or systems display distinct properties or behaviors along different axes or directions....
    astronomy
    The scientific observation of celestial radiation that has reached the vicinity of Earth, and the interpretation of these observations to determine the characteristics of the extraterrestrial bodies and phenomena that have emitted the radiation.
    metrology
    Metrology is the science and practice of measurement. It encompasses the theoretical and practical aspects of measurement, including the development of measurement standards, techniques, and instruments, as well as the application of measurement principles in various fields. The primary objectives of metrology are to ensure accuracy, reliability, and consistency in measurements and to establish traceability to recognized standards. Metrology plays a crucial role in science, industry,...
    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
