Simultaneous Observation of the Quantization and the Interference Pattern of a Plasmonic Near-Field.   Abstract Surface plasmon polaritons can confine electromagnetic fields in subwavelength spaces and are of interest for photonics, optical data storage devices and biosensing applications. In analogy to photons, they exhibit wave–particle duality, whose different aspects have recently been observed in separate [...]

Phyllotaxis: The Fibonacci Sequence in Nature   Divergence Angles and Phyllotactic Ratios The term phyllotaxis means "leaf arrangement" in Greek and was coined in 1754 by Charles Bonnet, a Swiss naturalist (Livio "Story," 109). In the 1830s, a pair of scientist brothers found that each new leaf on a plant stem is positioned at a certain angle [...]
