Researchers from Aston University and ITMO University demonstrated a new method to fabricate optical microresonators with unprecedented precision of less than the diameter of a single hydrogen atom and 100 times less than the current fabrication precision of similar devices. The possibility of creating microresonators with this precision can enable the development of more complex optical circuits and possibly allow engineers to use light for long-term information storage.
