The following news release, issued by Columbia University's Fu
Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science, describes
research that took place, in part, at the Center for Functional
Nanomaterials (CFN) at the U.S. Department of Energy’s
Brookhaven National Laboratory. The release describes optical
nanostructures that can slow down photons and control light
dispersion, which were made in the CFN’s nanofabrication
facility. “This work would not have been possible without the
instrumentation, training, and expertise available at the CFN,”
said CFN scientific staff member Aaron Stein, who assisted with
the fabrication process. For more information on Brookhaven’s
role in this research and other capabilities of the CFN,
