Smart LED Bulbs Deliver Communication and Illumination
Consumer-grade LED light bulbs can be enhanced with basic light-receiving electronics to enable the sensing of incoming signals from other light-emitting devices. The enhanced light bulbs are powerful enough to establish a communication link across several meters between light bulbs and LED-only systems that can be integrated into many devices.

DNA Origami Enables Glowing Photonic Crystal Cavities
A microscopic, glowing image of Vincent van Gogh’s “The Starry Night” has been fabricated in a demonstration of directed self-assembly of DNA origami onto lithographically patterned binding sites. The technique could enable reliable and controllable coupling of molecular emitters to photonic crystal cavities (PCCs).

Elastic Peak Electron Spectroscopy Theorized for Surface Analysis
A theoretical model describing the sampling depth of elastic peak electron spectroscopy for calculating the parameters of electron scattering in the surface layers of samples may enable more reliable interpretation of measurement data and reduce the time needed for materials analysis. Traditionally, multiple calculations have been required to determine if the electrons reflected from the surface of the material absolutely pertained to the sample being tested, and not, for example, to the base on which the sample was located.
