First Observations of Asteroid Bennu Reveal Water Was Once Present
Data obtained from the OSIRIS-Rex spacecraft’s two spectrometers, the OSIRIS-REx Visible and Infrared Spectrometer (OVIRS) and the OSIRIS-REx Thermal Emissions Spectrometer (OTES), reveal the presence of molecules that contain oxygen and hydrogen atoms bonded together, known as “hydroxyls,” on the asteroid Bennu.

Device for Measuring Nanoparticles Could Aid in Quantum Measurement
A new device that can measure and control an optically trapped nanoparticle with extreme sensitivity has been developed. Although this approach has been used before with trapped atoms, the researchers said they are the first to use it to precisely measure the motion of an optically trapped nanoparticle made of billions of atoms.

Moving 2D Circuits to Any Smooth Surface Could Open Way for Next-Gen Sensors
Atom-flat sensors, made from 2D materials, could be used to monitor performance without adding weight or hindering signal flow if they could be seamlessly integrated onto surfaces with different geometries where detection for near-field signal is desired.

PCO-TECH Inc. - Back Illuminated sCMOS by PCO Back Illuminated sCMOS by PCO

PCO-TECH Inc.
Unique technology comes from evolution, combining existing and new technology. When PCO’s tried and trusted sCMOS cameras pool forces with modern back illuminated (bi) sensor technology, pco.edge 4.2 bi and pco.panda 4.2 bi come into the world of science. Both cameras stand out with their nearly perfect quantum efficiency up to 95%.

Deep Learning Is Used to Recover Objects in Low Light
A new imaging technique demonstrates that deep neural networks (DNNs) can be used to illuminate transparent features such as biological tissues and cells in images taken with very little light. The researchers used a DNN to reconstruct transparent objects from images of the objects taken in near total darkness.

NANOMETA 2019
January 3-6, 2019 - Olympia Sport and Kongresszentrum Seefeld - Seefeld Austria
NANOMETA 2019 will bring together the international nanotechnology, photonics, and materials research communities to discuss recent challenges and results in an informal setting. The technical program will include invited and selected contributed papers in the areas of plasmonics, metamaterials, and metadevices; quantum and topological nanophotonics; new materials for nanophotonics; and optical superresolution. The conference will be organized into two parallel sessions, Nanophotonics and Metamaterials.
