  • Similarly, while the zipper cavities worked by funneling the light into the gap between two nanobeams-allowing the researchers to detect the beams 'motion relative to one another-optomechanical crystals work on an even tinier scale, trapping both light and sound within a single nanobeam.

  • Second, let me point to a recent article, a collaborative effort between Weiqiang Ding, then a student in my group and now an assistant professor at Clarkson, Zaoyang Guo, then a postdoctoral fellow with Brian Moran at Northwestern, and now an assistant professor at the University of Glasgow, and myself, that addresses what we believe could be a weakness in terms of the analysis in the aforementioned work on nanobeam mechanics by the Lieber group.
