Microscopic Robots Made from Silicon, Powered by Light
Using novel nanofabrication techniques, researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and Cornell University have built micro-robots made from silicon and powered by solar cells. One million functional microscopic robots can be produced from a 4-in. silicon wafer.

Light Pulses Could Provide a New Route to Superconductivity
Scientists from the RIKEN Cluster for Pioneering Research have used light pulses to transform Mott insulators into superconducting materials. Through numerical simulations, the researchers showed that pulse irradiation could induce unconventional superconductivity in a Mott insulator of the Hubbard model and found that this superconductivity occurred as a result of a phenomenon known as eta pairing.

New Approach to Measuring Large-Scale Photonic Correlation at Single-Photon Level
A multi-institutional research team has demonstrated a way to map and measure large-scale photonic quantum correlation with single-photon sensitivity. In addition to the new measurement technique, which is called correlation on spatially mapped photon-level image (COSPLI), the researchers also developed a way to detect signals from single photons and their correlations in tens of millions of images.

Optical Clocks Contribute to Steering International Atomic Time
Optical clocks, which have seen rapid progress in the last 20 years, have evaluated the “one second” tick of International Atomic Time (TAI). The resulting data was provided to the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM), which used the data to adjust the TAI tick rate.

Selecting an IR Camera for Your R&D Application – 7 Tips from a Top Expert
Tue, Mar 19, 2019 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
Thermography has become an indispensable tool for all types of R&D projects. Many IR camera options are available with different features and at varying costs, making it difficult to select the camera best-suited to your application. In this one-half-hour webinar, Chris Bainter, global director of strategic business development at FLIR Systems, will provide the guidance you need to make it easier for you to choose a thermal-imaging camera that meets all your requirements. He will focus on the seven most important things to consider when selecting an IR camera and explain them in plain language to help you select the right tool for your unique application needs. There will be ample time at the end of the webinar for Q&A. This webinar is sponsored by Teledyne DALSA and by InfraTec GmbH.

Going the Extra Mile with Contrast Optimization: A Practical Comparison of Micro-Imaging System Optimization
Thu, Mar 28, 2019 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
This webinar, presented by Zemax, will demonstrate the use of contrast optimization in the development of a micro-imaging system, along with a comparison using other optimization methods. It will also look at results using alternate lens design programs. Contrast optimization greatly simplifies the calculation of the modulation transfer function (MTF), giving imaging system designers a better option for targeting imaging quality. Contrast optimization also improves the speed of MTF optimization, resulting in better design solutions.
