Scientists Develop Photocatalyst That Can Turn CO2 to Fuel
Scientists Develop Photocatalyst That Can Turn CO2 to Fuel
In a recent study from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory, scientists used a photocatalyst largely made of copper to transform carbon dioxide to methanol. The researchers used a photocatalyst made of cuprous oxide, a semiconductor that when exposed to light can produce electrons that can react with, or reduce, many compounds.

New Approach Could Improve Colloidal Quantum Dot Lasing for Use in Displays
Researchers at Nanyang Technological University have demonstrated tunable, controllable amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) in a colloidal semiconductor device via electric field-induced charging. Their work could open new avenues for achieving electrically pumped colloidal quantum dot (CQD) lasers.

Canon U.S.A. Inc., Industrial Products Div.
Canon RA-532H, Surface Reflectance Analyzer (goniophotometer), is a compact, portable device capable of measuring 4 surface appearance conditions in a single pass: Gloss, Haze, Image Clarity (IC), and BRDF (Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function). Additionally, Canon has released its own new parameter, “Scattering” parameter, overcoming the shortage of both IC and DOI (Distinctiveness of Image) when evaluating matte and textured surfaces as well as orange peel surface.
