Graphene-Based Wearables on Display at Mobile World Congress 2019
A new device from the Institute of Photonic Sciences allows users to monitor their level of exposure to sunlight through a UV sensor. Using the same core technology as the UV patch, ICFO is developing a fitness band to measure heart rate, hydration, oxygen saturation, breathing rate, and temperature.

Control of Nanowire Growth Could Advance Nanowire Use in Silicon Photonics
Researchers from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) Laboratory of Semiconductor Materials, together with colleagues from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the Ioffe Institute in Russia, have discovered a way to grow nanowire networks in a highly controlled and fully reproducible manner. First, they needed to understand what happens at the onset of nanowire growth — a process, they found, that goes against currently accepted theories.

In Vivo Medical Laser Procedures: An Overview
Thu, Mar 7, 2019 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST
This one-half hour webinar, presented by OFS, will provide an overview of current in vivo medical procedures performed using lasers and optical fibers, including procedures for neurology, ophthalmology, and cardiology. The presentation will begin with a brief history of laser-based medical applications. Speaker Jaehan Kim will describe the types of light-tissue interactions and discuss which wavelengths have been found most useful for different medical procedures. He will also touch on the use of high-power versus low-power lasers; the use and benefits of laser-based imaging applications; and the benefits of the Raman fiber laser, a potentially game-changing technology for medical laser applications.
