Caltech Researchers Develop On-Chip Nanoscale Optical Quantum Memory
A computer chip with nanoscale optical quantum memory has been developed that is analogous to a traditional memory chip in a computer. An international team took advantage of the peculiar features of quantum mechanics, such as superposition in which a quantum element can exist in two distinct states simultaneously, in designing their chip that stores data efficiently and securely.

Nanosensors Used to Detect Obesity-Related Diseases
According to a New England Journal of Medicine study, more than one third of the world’s population is overweight or obese. And, these weight issues can often lead to other health concerns. Researchers have created an optical reporter via nanosensor, which is capable of detecting the progression of obesity-related diseases. The nanosensors are specially formulated aqueously dispersed single-walled photoluminescent carbon nanotubes, made entirely of one specific semiconducting species.

Scaled-Up Mirror-Coating Technology Could Improve Telescope Efficiency
Scientists are adapting atomic layer deposition (ALD), a technique widely used in the microelectronics industry, to develop protected silver coatings suitable for telescope mirrors. These coatings could help telescopes maintain high reflectivity at wavelengths from 340 nm through the mid-IR spectrum.

Infrared Satellite Data Predicts End of Volcanic Eruptions
Knowing when an effusive volcanic eruption will end is just as important as the onset in terms of reducing hazards. Using thermal infrared remote sensing data acquired from NASA’s Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard the Terra and Aqua satellites, researchers set out to test a hypothesis first published in 1981 that detailed how lava flow rate changes during a volcanic eruption.

Columbia Scientists Develop 3D Microscope for Live Cell Imaging
A team of scientists has successfully developed the Swept Confocally Aligned Planar Excitation (SCAPE) 3D microscope, which eliminates the need to mount samples or other special preparation and is capable of imaging freely moving living samples in real-time at speeds 10 to 100 times faster than current laser-scanning microscopes.

3D Electromagnetic Simulation of Photonic Devices
Wed, Oct 18, 2017 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM EDT
This webinar will discuss electromagnetic (EM) simulation workflows for photonics and show how modeling can provide insights into the design and optimization of photonic and optical devices. It will present CST STUDIO SUITE for photonics simulations and discuss the simulation of multiphysics effects such as heating and losses due to thermal heating. It is presented by CST, a leading provider of 3D EM field simulation tools. CST is part of SIMULIA, a Dassault Systemes brand.
