Nonlinear Optical Process Could Improve Solar-Powered Desalination
Researchers at Rice University have improved the efficiency of their solar-powered desalination system by more than 50% by concentrating sunlight into “hot spots.” Using the same amount of light, the researchers were able to increase the rate of purified water production by redistributing direct sunlight intensity.

Tiny Light Box Made of TMDC Material Merges States of Light, Matter
Tiny Light Box Made of TMDC Material Merges States of Light, Matter
A nanosize light box, built from stacked atomically thin material, has demonstrated the ability to capture and amplify light and link light to matter at the nanolevel. The light box, created by researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, makes the alternation between light and matter take place so rapidly that it becomes impossible to distinguish between the two states.

Keys to Success with Vision-Guided Robotics
Keys to Success with Vision-Guided Robotics
Tue, Jul 16, 2019 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
Industry leader David Dechow will present practical methods to successfully integrate conventional vision-guided robotic (VGR) applications into machine vision systems. He will discuss some cutting-edge VGR applications, the challenges they present, and the potential advantages they offer. He will provide examples of the products that are being used successfully in VGR, including robots, cameras, and software and will conclude with a discussion of machine vision technologies that could be key to expanding the future use of VGR. This webinar is sponsored by Photoneo; Teledyne DALSA; and Integro Technologies Corp.
