Revealing the Dark Universe It's a sobering thought: all the matter that has ever been detected accounts for a mere 4.9% of the Universe. Most of the cosmos is the dark universe, a mix of dark matter and dark energy. Both have so far proved impenetrable puzzles, but physicists young and old are intent on changing that.

Ripplon laser through stimulated emission mediated by water waves pp758 - 761 Samuel Kaminski, Leopoldo L. Martin, Shai Maayani and Tal Carmon doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.210 Octane droplets in water can resonate both capillary and optical modes. Researchers have now exploited such cavities and observed optically controlled stimulated capillary scattering and coherent excitation of capillary resonances. |

Real-space coherent manipulation of electrons in a single tunnel junction by single-cycle terahertz electric fields pp762 - 765 Katsumasa Yoshioka, Ikufumi Katayama, Yasuo Minami, Masahiro Kitajima, Shoji Yoshida et al. doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.205 Carrier-envelope-phase-controlled single-cycle terahertz pulses can induce coherent electron tunnelling either from a Pt/Ir nanotip to a graphite sample or vice versa. The pulses enable ultrafast nonlinear manipulation of electrons at the atomic scale. |

Integrated optomechanical single-photon frequency shifter pp766 - 770 Linran Fan, Chang-Ling Zou, Menno Poot, Risheng Cheng, Xiang Guo et al. doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.206 An optomechanical single-photon frequency shifter is demonstrated in integrated AlN waveguides. A frequency shift up to 150 GHz is achieved at telecom wavelength. The device shows near-unity efficiency and preserves the quantum coherence.

Self-organized instability in graded-index multimode fibres pp771 - 776 Logan G. Wright, Zhanwei Liu, Daniel A. Nolan, Ming-Jun Li, Demetrios N. Christodoulides et al. doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.227 Spatial beam clean-up and spatiotemporal modulation instability in graded-index multimode fibres are studied in a regime characterized by disorder, nonlinearity and dissipation. |

Near-unity quantum efficiency of broadband black silicon photodiodes with an induced junction pp777 - 781 Mikko A. Juntunen, Juha Heinonen, Ville Vähänissi, Päivikki Repo, Dileep Valluru et al. doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.226 The combination of black silicon to improve the light absorption and negatively charged alumina to form an induced collecting junction characterizes a photodiode with external quantum efficiency above 96% between 250 nm and 950 nm. |

Selective carrier injection into patterned arrays of pyramidal quantum dots for entangled photon light-emitting diodes pp782 - 787 T. H. Chung, G. Juska, S. T. Moroni, A. Pescaglini, A. Gocalinska et al. doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.203 Polarization-entangled photons are generated from light-emitting diodes based on site-controlled pyramidal quantum dots. Selective current injection into the vicinity of a quantum dot becomes possible owing to a self-assembled vertical quantum wire. |

Optical microresonators as single-particle absorption spectrometers pp788 - 795 Kevin D. Heylman, Niket Thakkar, Erik H. Horak, Steven C. Quillin, Charles Cherqui et al. doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.217 Single-particle double-modulation absorption spectrometers based on whispering-gallery-mode microresonators achieve sub-100-Hz sensitivity to photothermal resonance shifts and allow for the study of arrays of Fano resonances in the context of plasmonic–photonic hybridization.

A flexible and wearable terahertz scanner pp809 - 813 D. Suzuki, S. Oda and Y. Kawano doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.209 A flexible and wearable terahertz scanner based on carbon nanotubes is demonstrated at room temperature over a frequency range 0.14 THz to 39 THz. The terahertz photothermoelectricity is enhanced by using different electrode materials. |
