NEWS THIS WEEK

Carbon-detecting Laser
Laser technology developed at Rutgers measures small changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels as a way to monitor the environment.
Oerlikon Divests Magnetic IP
Switzerland-based Oerlikon Balzers Ltd. said it will sell its magnetic media equipment assets and intellectual property (IP) to Intevac for an undisclosed amount.
Crystals Key to Cloaking
Concentric rings of silicon photonic crystals have, in computer simulations at the University of Illinois, demonstrated an approximate cloaking effect, bringing scientists a step closer to making optical cloaking -- invisibility -- more practical.

Light Pulse Speed Record Set
Attosecond Laser German researchers have set a new record in ultrafast metrology, producing the first light pulses lasting only 80 attoseconds (a billionth of a billionth of a second). The achievement will help unlock some of the secrets of ultrafast electron motion inside atoms, molecules and solids, providing insight into electron processes could lead to the development of new light sources, a better understanding of the microscopic origins of serious illnesses, or the creation of superfast electronics.
