The sensitivity and visual acuity of the eye of the shrimp L. vannamei are achieved via an exquisitely optimized nanostructured tapetum leading to a very high reflectivity in an ultrathin layer. Understanding the properties of such natural nanostructures can lead to the design of artificial photonic materials with enhanced properties.

Fast all-electrical switching of magnetic tunnel junctions is required to improve the next generation of non-volatile memory. The combination of spin–orbit torques, spin-transfer torques, and the voltage control of magnetic anisotropy permits switching latency smaller than 0.2 ns as unveiled by real-time observation of the switching dynamics.

Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy can provide chemical sensitivity at a single-molecule level. Measurements on individual molecules adsorbed on a thin salt layer unveil that components of the electric field perpendicular to the tip provide sensitivity to the symmetry of the vibrational modes of the molecule.
