Triboluminescence Is Used to Test for Drug Efficacy
An instrument has been developed that uses triboluminescence (TL) to enable selective detection of trace crystallinity within amorphous solid dispersions, used in the preparation of pharmaceutical formulations to make the drug more efficacious. The instrument can accurately detect in the early stages of drug development whether a pharmaceutical formulation has trace crystalline content that could negatively impact the drug’s stability and bioavailability.

Engineered Glass Slide Enables Microscopic Thermal Mapping
Using a coating of an optical exceptional point structure, researchers demonstrated a multifunctional microscope slide that supports real-time monitoring and mapping of temperature distribution and heat transport, in addition to conventional microscopic imaging. The integration of optical sensing technologies with a conventional glass slide could lead to improved experimental control at the microscale.

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...

Researchers Demonstrate Active Nanoantennas Based on Diamond Nanoparticles
A controlled light source has been developed that is based on a nanodiamond. According to researchers, experiments showed that the diamond shell could double the emission speed of light sources and could help control light sources without additional nano- or microstructures. The enhancement of the fluorescence rate of the emitters was due to artificially created defects in a diamond crystal lattice.
