Enhanced Photosensors Exploit Wavelength-Shifting Properties of Nanoparticles
Scientists are using nanotechnology to improve the ability of photodetectors to handle the UV radiation produced in high-energy physics experiments. Currently, most available detectors have poor response in the UV so it is typically necessary to shift UV to a wavelength matching the sensitivity of the detector.

Laser Technique Binds Aluminum with Plastic in Injection Molding
A group of German engineers recently demonstrated a technique for binding plastic to aluminum by pretreating sheets of aluminum with IR lasers. The researchers found that roughening the surface of aluminum with continuous laser beams created a mechanical interlocking with thermoplastic polyamide and led to significantly strong adhesion.

Digital Approach to Fabricating Holograms Could Eliminate Bulky Optics in 3D Displays
Through a combination of holography and light-field display, researchers hope to eliminate visual disturbances in augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) and other 3D technologies without the addition of bulky optics. The researchers found a way to record a hologram digitally, using a process that requires none of the optical components to be physically present during recording.

Single Laser Source Generates Six Entangled Waves, Setting a New Record
Scientists have demonstrated the entanglement of six light waves generated by an optical parametric oscillator (OPO). In previous experiments, the team entangled two and three modes using the OPO. The team’s current experiments have doubled the space available for information to be encoded.
