New Molecule Marker Enables ‘Unprecedented’ Study of Mitochondria
A team at Nagoya University’s Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules has developed a marker molecule that bypasses the problem of photobleaching in STED microscopy. It’s allowing an unprecedented view of live mitochondria, which could help researchers better understand, diagnose, and potentially cure human mitochondrial disease.

Smart Light Bulbs Could Be Vulnerable to Hackers
Some smart bulbs can connect to a home network directly, without needing a smart home hub (a centralized hardware or software device that enables IoT products to communicate with each other). If these bulbs are IR-enabled, a hacker could send commands via the IR light that is emitted by the bulb to either steal data or spoof other IoT devices connected on the home network.

Infrared Detector Improves Night-Vision Capabilities at Room Temperature
Researchers at the University of Central Florida have devised a strategy for uncooled, tunable, multispectral infrared (IR) detection. The team showed that room-temperature photodetection using 2D monolayer graphene is possible through the interplay of tunable, enhanced IR absorption induced by localized Dirac plasmonic excitations, graphene mobility engineering, and excitation of asymmetric hot carriers.

High-Yield Optimization: Streamlining the Path to More Easily Manufacturable Optical Designs
Wed, Nov 6, 2019 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST
The conventional optical design approach results in designs that are very sensitive to manufacturing and alignment errors, which means the optical product is difficult to repeatedly manufacture successfully. In this webinar you will learn about a new method, called High-Yield Optimization, that produces designs that meet tight performance specifications, provide a higher manufacturing yield, and lower manufacturing costs through less waste. High-Yield Optimization will help you optimize for as-built performance, rather than nominal performance. Presented by the founder of Zemax, Kenneth Moore, Ph.D.
