Vortex Nanogears - a new approach to plasmonic nanocircuit engineering

A new hydrodynamics-inspired approach to plasmonic nanocircuit engineering seeks to steer optical powerflow through 'vortex nanogear transmissions' pinned to plasmonic nanostructures (read more: http://www.nanowerk.com/spotlight/spotid=24124.php ).
