$10 Million Luminate NY Initiative Welcomes Cohort II
$10 Million Luminate NY Initiative Welcomes Cohort II
LIGHT MATTERS BROADCAST — New York state’s Luminate NY accelerator held its Lightning Awards at the Dryden Theatre at the George Eastman House in Rochester, going from 21 chosen competing companies to 10 finalists. The optics, photonics, and imaging startups will each receive an initial investment of $100,000 and will be a part of the initiative’s second cohort, which will launch in January 2019.

Optogenetics Drives Structural Changes During Embryonic Tissue Development
Optogenetics Drives Structural Changes During Embryonic Tissue Development
Scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) used optogenetics to drive structural changes in tissue development in Drosophila (fruit fly) embryos. Their experimental results showed that optogenetics can be used to inhibit the naturally occurring process of invagination.

PCO-TECH Inc. - pco.edge 4.2 bi: Back Illuminated sCMOS pco.edge 4.2 bi: Back Illuminated sCMOS

PCO-TECH Inc.
Innovations aren’t always about having that one big new idea. Unique technology also comes from evolution, combining existing and new technology. When PCO’s tried and trusted pco.edge series pools forces with modern back illuminated (bi) 16 bit sCMOS sensor technology, we call the result: pco.edge 4.2 bi.

American Conference on Materials Research and Technology
American Conference on Materials Research and Technology
December 6-7, 2018 - Tropicana Hotel - Las Vegas US
This materials science conference will provide an opportunity for scientists from around the world to share theoretical and experimental research related to the electronic, electrochemical, ionic, magnetic, optical, and biosensing properties of solid state materials in bulk, thin film, and particulate forms. The conference will focus on synthesis, processing, characterization, structure, physical properties, and computational aspects of nano-crystalline, crystalline, amorphous, and glassy forms of ceramics, semiconductors, layered insertion compounds, low-dimensional compounds and systems, fast-ion conductors, polymers, and dielectrics. Widely acclaimed speakers and the latest methods, strategies, and most up-to-date overhauls in materials science and engineering will be featured at this meeting.

Materials and Methods for Smart Glass, Smart Windows, and Building Shells
Materials and Methods for Smart Glass, Smart Windows, and Building Shells
Wed, Dec 5, 2018 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST
This webinar will introduce a cost-efficient, high-performing smart glass system for windows, windshields, roof panes, and building envelopes. The system is based on a reflective structure that switches to transmissive when an index-matching fluid is introduced. You will learn about the technology used to develop and fabricate the smart glass system, including the use of optofluidics and 3D printing. The presenter, professor Keith Goossen, will also discuss future goals and potential applications for his smart heating, cooling and lighting system.
