Optical Solution Addresses Interconnect Bottleneck on Silicon Chips
A combination light emitter and detector device that is compatible with silicon could help mitigate communications delays resulting from signal leakage between microchip components. The device is made from molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe2), an ultrathin semiconductor that belongs to an emerging group of materials known as 2D transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs).

Proposed NASA Mission Employs ‘Lobster-Eye’ Optics to Locate Source of Cosmic Waves
An optics system that mimics the structure of a lobster’s eyes could be employed on the International Space Station to enable NASA to precisely locate, characterize and alert other observatories about the source of gravitational waves. The Transient Astrophysics Observatory on the International Space Station, or ISS-TAO, is being considered by NASA as a potential Explorer Mission of Opportunity.

Light-Activated Probe Could Aid Alzheimer’s Drug Development
Researchers have developed a probe that lights up when it binds to a misfolded amyloid beta peptide (Aß), enabling footprinting of this protein, which is a suspected cause of Alzheimer’s disease. The probe was able to identify a specific binding site on the Aß, a discovery that could facilitate better drug treatment for the disease.

Next Generation 3D Printing: The Emergence of Enabling Materials
Wed, Nov 15, 2017 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EST
KIT principal investigator Bastion Rapp, Ph.D., will introduce his lab's prototype and process for enabling freeform generation of highly transparent fused silica glass components using 3D printers. Rapp will discuss potential applications for 3D printed glass, ranging from 3D printing of complex lenses for smartphone cameras and next-generation microprocessors to intricate glass panels for use in building construction. While additive manufacturing and 3D printing have seen significant improvements in processing and instrumentation, the choice of materials for use in AM and 3D printing has not increased significantly. Rapp will also discuss how the emergence of enabling materials for 3D printing could revolutionize use of this technology.
