New Platform Brings Photonics to Bulk Silicon Microelectronic Chips
A new platform and fabrication method has been developed for making silicon chips that can communicate with photons. The technology, which is no more expensive than current chip technology, could alleviate bottlenecks in current devices by speeding data transfer and reducing energy consumption by orders of magnitude.

Managing Chronic Pain with Light
Researchers developed a light-sensitive chemical that selectively binds to the type of nerve cells in the skin that cause severe pain in neuropathic patients. By injecting the affected skin area with the chemical and then illuminating it with NIR light, the targeted nerve cells retract from the skin's surface, leading to pain relief.

Patterned Thin-Film Coatings
Deposition Sciences Inc. (DSI)
The drive towards smaller photonic sensors, often integrated on monolithic substrates with other processing electronics, has created a need for coatings directly on semiconductor wafers, or on miniaturized substrates. Specifically, this allows the integration of optical filters, apertures or other features which modify...

Optogenetic Tool Controls Voltage-Gated Calcium Channels
An optogenetic tool has been developed for controlling voltage-gated calcium channels to enable photo-tunable modulation of this channel activity in excitable mammalian cells. The tool, called optoRGK, provides a way to interrogate the physiological and pathophysiological processes that are medicated by voltage-gated calcium channels.
