Polarimetric imaging is especially interesting for the fields of biology and medicine due to the capability of this technique to emphasize certain abnormalities in tissue such as cancerous growths that can interact differently ...

Microstructured devices have been recently recognized as a powerful tool in cell biology. In this work, we have exploited this technology to create different microstructures to mechanically confine cells with the overarching ...

The project aims at developing new photonic transmitters for quantum cryptography applications which could be used to increase the security of communication networks. The transmitter will be designed to generate security ...

A lack of primary stability and osteointegration in metallic implants may result in implant loosening and failure. Adding porosity to metallic implants reduces the stress shielding effect and improves implant performance, ...

Point of care molecular diagnostics is a very promising field with an expected exponential demanding grow in the next years, but nowadays with very few successful cases from the industrial point of view. Among the different ...

In recent years, there has been a lot of work, that has focused on studying Ising spin chains with tunable long-range interactions. Such chains can now, for instance, be experimentally realized using ultracold atoms or in ...

We demonstrate a new type of optical coherence tomography (OCT) scheme based on ideas put forward by Mandel's group in 1991, curiously the same year than the first OCT scheme was demonstrated. It involves the measurement ...

The coupling between optical and mechanical waves within optical resonators has become a growing study field in the last years due to its scientific and technological importance. Optomechanical crystals (OMCs) are a ...
