Fraunhofer Dairy Quality Check Delivers Results in Minutes
Fraunhofer Dairy Quality Check Delivers Results in Minutes
In a test lasting around five minutes, a new optoplasmonic sensor analyzed a milk sample for a total of six substances. The sensor demonstrated its use as an early warning system within the supply chain, detecting the substances before the milk was pumped into the tanker.

2D Material for Photodetectors Is Less Costly, More Sensitive Than Gold
2D Material for Photodetectors Is Less Costly, More Sensitive Than Gold
Researchers at Drexel University are using a 2D transition metal carbide (Ti3C2) to fabricate photodetectors with improved sensitivity for substantially less cost. The researchers replaced gold, typically used in the fabrication of photodetectors because of its high conductivity, with a thin, transparent layer of MXene.

100 Years Ago, Elmer Imes’ Observations Informed a New Understanding of Molecular Physics
One hundred years ago this month, physicist Elmer Imes published his dissertation, “Measurements on the Near-Infrared Absorption of Some Diatomic Gases,” in Astrophysical Journal. The paper provided the scientific world with the first accurate determination of the distances between atoms in molecules using his own customized spectrometers and expanded the range of applicability of quantum theory.

Interactive Hologram uses Ultrasound Waves and LEDs
Researchers at the University of Sussex have built a device that uses LEDs and ultrasound waves to levitate a polystyrene bead and create tactile, 3D holograms. The device, known as a Multimodal Acoustic Trap Display (MATD), maneuvers the 2-mm-wide bead at up to 20 mph, tracing shapes in the air colorized by the LEDs.

Inexpensive, Portable System Expands OCT's Reach
Researchers from Duke University have developed a way to use optical coherence tomography (OCT) in hard-to-reach areas of the body such as joints. The researchers used a rigid borescope, essentially a thin tube of lenses, to deliver the infrared light necessary to perform OCT.
