The development of a “nanobarrel” that traps and concentrates light onto single molecules could be used as a low-cost and reliable diagnostic test. Jeremy Baumberg and his 30-strong team of researchers at Cambridge are master manipulators of light. They are specialists in nanophotonics – the control of how light interacts with tiny chunks of matter, at scales as small as a billionth of a meter. It’s a field of physics that 20 years ago was unknown.
