Holograms Gain Efficiency from Metasurface Fabrication Technique
Nanostructured metasurfaces have been incorporated into compact holograms, enabling the production of different images depending on the polarization of incident light. The highly efficient holograms lose very little light in the processing of creating the image, and are expected to improve antifraud holograms as well as those used in displays.

Flexible Solar Cell Achieves 7.6% Efficiency
Flexible Solar Cell Achieves 7.6% Efficiency
A thin-film technology called CZTS has been applied to photovoltaics to achieve a world-leading 7.6 percent efficiency in a 1-cm2 solar cell. The achievement marks a milestone for thin-film photovoltaic (PV) technology — which is being explored for zero-energy buildings, among other applications — on its path toward commercially competitive 20 percent efficiency.

A Greener Way to Create Quantum Dots
A Greener Way to Create Quantum Dots
A method for manufacturing quantum dots (QDs) from a single enzyme may provide a simple, cost-effective and environmentally friendly way to produce these semiconducting nanocrystals, prized for their optical and electronic properties. Current chemical manufacturing methods for QDs are time-consuming and often require toxic solvents.

FLIM OPT Monitors Cell Signaling in Live Organisms
Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (FLIM) combined with Optical Projection Tomography (OPT) has been demonstrated as useful for imaging and monitoring apoptosis in whole live organisms in 3D. Termed FLIM OPT, the method may provide a means to visualize cell signaling processes and even responses to potential drug therapies in live organisms over space and time.
