Dynamic Speckle Patterns Detect Fires in Harsh Environments
A multi-institutional group of researchers from Denmark and Norway has developed a laser-based system that can detect fires in challenging environments. The new system does not measure the amount of light or its wavelength, but rather how the refractive index randomly fluctuates due to heat convection from the fire.

Light Irradiation Increases Charging Rates of Lithium-Ion Batteries
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have discovered a new mechanism to speed up the charging of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles. By exposing the cathode to a beam of concentrated light — for example, the white light from a xenon lamp — the battery charging time can be lowered by a factor of two or more.

A Stretchable Display Safely Lights Up Human Skin
A stretchable light-emitting device that operates at low voltages and is safe for human skin, developed by researchers at Nanjing University, could one day provide runners and others with a convenient alternative to a stopwatch or cellphone, allowing them to check their running times with a flick of the wrist.

Polymer Lenses Could Lower IR Detection Costs for Consumer Products
A team led by University of Arizona materials scientist Jeffrey Pyun is using a sulfur-based polymer made from waste generated by fossil fuels to develop consumer-grade infrared (IR) plastic lenses. The team has refined this material, which it first used in 2014, to create its second generation of IR lenses.
