Optical billiards on a microscale

It took over 12 hours to produce the structure, and the thickness of each layer was made with an accuracy of a few nanometres (billionths of a metre). Then, the crystal was illuminated by a laser beam. The crystal absorbed the light and became excited for a short time (some tens of picoseconds, i.e. for several tens of millionths of one-millionth of a second). The semiconductor released this energy b…

The extrusion of elastic appendages induces motion of the droplets in a way similar to the motion of microscopic swimmers, such as bacteria. The droplets are rechargeable – by reversing the cooling process, they retract the filaments. – We present a new class of active, elastic microswimmers produced by…

Perhaps, it is the abuse of alcohol by the protagonist that reveals a shameful truth about him and the world in which he lives. How many times have you got on this train? It is difficult for me to count the number of times I travelled with Veniedikt Yerofeyev from Moscow to Petushki. This story accompanied m…
