Nanophotonics
Manipulating Light with Plasmons
Language: English
Release Date: November 9, 2017
The manipulation of light at the nanometer scale is highly pursued for both fundamental sciences and wide applications. The diffraction limit of light sets the limit for the smallest size of photonic devices to the scale of light wavelength. Fortunately, the peculiar properties of surface plasmons...

How to Attract Investors
A Subjective Guide to the Mindset of Investors and their Requirements
Language: English
Release Date: November 25, 2016
Investors are often looked upon as one homogeneous group of people with money ready to invest; however, this group is very diverse. In some ways, investors are like car buyers who seek common denominators in a car, such as the engine, wheels, brakes and seats, but the car they end up buying depends...
