Sub-cycle atomic-scale forces coherently control a single-molecule switch
The near field of a terahertz wave confined to a scanning probe tip provides femtosecond atomic-scale forces that coherently modulate the switching probability of a molecule between two stable adsorption geometries.

Coherent interaction between free electrons and a photonic cavity
The strong interaction of coherent free electrons with a photonic-crystal cavity enables the measurement of the lifetimes of the cavity modes and provides a technique for multidimensional near-field imaging and spectroscopy.

Engineering and mapping nanocavity emission via precision placement of DNA origami
The incorporation of large numbers of chemically diverse functional components into microfabricated structures at precise locations is challenging; now the precision placement of DNA origami by directed self-assembly is shown to overcome this problem for the purpose of reliably and controllably coupling molecular emitters to photonic crystal cavities.

A multi-directional backlight for a wide-angle, glasses-free three-dimensional display
A multiview, dynamic three-dimensional display suitable for mobile devices is achieved by using a set of directional grating pixels etched on the backlight surface; such glasses-free displays could revolutionize areas such as data visualization, medical training and entertainment.
