Novel Technology Images DNA Naturally Fluorescing
A novel imaging tool that is able to capture images of DNA naturally fluorescing could advance the study of individual biomolecules and help uncover global patterns of gene expression. Existing methods for imaging DNA and other genetic material rely on fluorescent labeling of biomolecules. Because it is virtually impossible to label every nucleotide, the resolution of the most widely used nanoscopy technologies is limited to a few tens of nm, which may contain tens of thousands of base pairs.

Material Could Reduce Signal Loss, Boost Efficiency of Light-Based Devices
Photonic devices could see a reduction in optical signal loss as a result of the discovery of a plasmonic metamaterial that compensates for loss of light energy by using a semiconductor to act as a light emitter. Plasmonic metamaterials typically contain metals that absorb energy from light and convert it into heat, wasting a portion of the optical signal and lowering its efficiency.

Small, Low-Cost Remote Sensing Satellites Could Orbit Much Closer to Earth
Smaller and less expensive satellites may soon orbit much closer to Earth, improving the quality of images they send back. The University of Manchester is heading up the project to develop remote sensing satellites that can operate at 200-450 kilometers above the Earth’s surface. Remote sensing satellites currently operate at about 500-800 kilometers above the Earth, above the residual atmosphere that exists at lower altitudes.

Low-Cost Monitoring Device Detects Oil's Fluorescence Fingerprint
A simple device composed of photodiode detectors can detect an oil spill in water and then pinpoint the type of oil present on the surface. Researchers from the University of Vigo created the device that is designed to float on water, where it could remotely monitor a small area susceptible to pollution or track the evolution of contamination at a particular location.
