Javier Aizpurua, researcher at the Materials Physics Centre, a joint centre of the CSIC and the University of the Basque Country UPV/EHU, has designed a new model which describes the properties of optic nanoantennas at distances inferior to the nanometre by means of quantum mechanics, an advancement which completes the explanations based on classic physics equations which have been applied until now.
