Nature Energy: Call for Papers

Launching in January 2016, Nature Energy is now open for submissions and inviting high-quality research from across the natural and social sciences. The journal will be dedicated to exploring all aspects of the on-going discussion of energy provision; from the generation and storage of energy, to its distribution and management, the needs and demands of the different actors, and the impacts that energy technologies and policies have on societies.

Submit your next research paper to the journal.

Optomechanics: Diamonds take off   pp633 - 634
Klemens Hammerer and Markus Aspelmeyer
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.185
Nanodiamonds that are levitated by light and are equipped with internal spin provide a new platform for performing quantum and optomechanical experiments with massive, environmentally isolated objects.

See also: Letter by Neukirch et al.

Optoelectronics: Colour-selective photodiodes   pp634 - 636
Michael B. Johnston
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.180
Perovskite semiconductors have altered the landscape of solar cell research. Now researchers show that these materials may also offer a flexible platform for colour imaging and wavelength-selective sensing.

View from... Group IV 2015: The data centre challenge   pp637 - 638
Oliver Graydon
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.186
The opportunities and challenges for wide-scale deployment of silicon photonics in data centres dominated discussion at this year's Group IV Photonics conference in Canada.

Mid-infrared nanophotonics: Probing hyperbolic polaritons   pp638 - 640
Joshua D. Caldwell, Igor Vurgaftman and Joseph G. Tischler
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.183
Hyperbolic phonon polaritons confined to the subdiffraction limit exhibit encouragingly long lifetimes and group velocities as slow as 0.002c. Researchers use a time-resolved set-up sensitive to nanometre-scale optical fields to shed light on the exciting optical properties of hyperbolic materials.

Advances in quantum teleportation   pp641 - 652
S. Pirandola, J. Eisert, C. Weedbrook, A. Furusawa and S. L. Braunstein
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.154
This review covers state-of-the-art quantum teleportation technologies, from photonic qubits and optical modes to atomic ensembles, trapped atoms and solid-state systems. Open issues and potential future implementations are also discussed.

Multi-dimensional single-spin nano-optomechanics with a levitated nanodiamond   pp653 - 657
Levi P. Neukirch, Eva von Haartman, Jessica M. Rosenholm and A. Nick Vamivakas
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.162
A hybrid nano-optomechanical system — a nanodiamond levitated in an optical dipole trap that contains a single nitrogen vacancy centre — shows the ability to simultaneously control multidimensional optical, phononic and spin degrees of freedom.

Optical nanoscopy with excited state saturation at liquid helium temperatures   pp658 - 662
B. Yang, J.-B. Trebbia, R. Baby, Ph. Tamarat and B. Lounis
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.152
Based on optical saturation of the excited state of single fluorescent molecules with a doughnut-shaped beam, sub-10-nm-resolution optical microscopy at cryogenic temperatures is achieved.

Perfect absorption in nanotextured thin films via Anderson-localized photon modes   pp663 - 668

doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.159
Researchers use Anderson localization in nanotextured amorphous silicon and demonstrate enhanced absorption of light.

Enhanced optical trapping via structured scattering   pp669 - 673
Michael A. Taylor, Muhammad Waleed, Alexander B. Stilgoe, Halina Rubinsztein-Dunlop and Warwick P. Bowen
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.160
Structured light is used to created optical traps with stiffness an order of magnitude higher than conventional Gaussian traps in one-dimension.

Edward Yoxall, Martin Schnell, Alexey Y. Nikitin, Oihana Txoperena, Achim Woessner et al.
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.166
Time-domain interferometry and near-field scanning microscopy are used to investigate infrared phonon polaritons exhibiting hyperbolic dispersion. Negative phase velocity and group velocity as small as 0.002c are confirmed.

doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.156
Perovskite-based devices typically exhibit broadband spectral responses. Here narrowband (< 20 nm FWHM) response is achieved for a photodetector application.

Filterless narrowband visible photodetectors   pp687 - 694
Qianqian Lin, Ardalan Armin, Paul L. Burn and Paul Meredith
doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.175
Photodiodes with an intrinsic narrow spectral response make it possible to discriminate between red, green and blue light without the need for any optical filters.
