Nanotechnologies have been a hot topic for over 15 years now, while nanophotonics still remains known to the rare few.

An optimized design of silicon nanoparticles provides а more efficient transition from spontaneous to stimulated Raman scattering.

The concept is based on the interaction of resonant semiconductor iron oxide Fe2O3 nanoparticles with light. They can get heated locally by a laser and convert the absorbed light into heat.

A group of scientists from ITMO University, including one Master’s and one PhD student, has proposed a new method for quick cooling-down of surfaces using perovskite and light nanoparticles.
