Meta-Hologram Optical Device Operates in Forward and Backward Directions
Meta-Hologram Optical Device Operates in Forward and Backward Directions
A multifunctional meta-hologram design, developed by researchers at Pohang University of Science and Technology, can be used to create different hologram images depending on the direction of the incident light that falls on the device. Conventional meta-holograms can display images when the incident light falls in one direction only.

Portable Biosensor Uses Light at Nanoscale to Detect Sepsis in Minutes
Portable Biosensor Uses Light at Nanoscale to Detect Sepsis in Minutes
Time is critical when diagnosing sepsis, but the tests currently used to identify this disease can take up to 72 hours. Researchers at the Laboratory of Bionanophotonic Systems at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne have developed an optical biosensor that reduces sepsis diagnosis time from several days to a few minutes.

First Images from Inouye Solar Telescope Provide Detailed Look at Sun
The first images from the National Science Foundation’s Inouye Solar Telescope show a close-up view of the sun’s surface, detailing a pattern of turbulent plasma that covers the entire sun. The telescope can image a region of the sun 38,000 km wide, and the images reveal the smallest features ever seen on the solar surface, some as small as 30 km.

Photoluminescent Polymer Detects Stress Quickly
Photoluminescent Polymer Detects Stress Quickly
A new stress-detecting polymer that shines brighter when stretched could be used to measure the performance of synthetic polymers and track deterioration in materials that are used in engineering and construction. Scientists from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University integrated copper complexes (copper atoms linked to organic molecules) into the polymer polybutylacrylate.

Long-Distance Distribution of Atom-Photon Entanglement at Telecom Wavelength
Physicists at Ludwig Maximilian University, with colleagues at Saarland University, have demonstrated the transport of an entangled state between an atom and a photon via an optical fiber over a distance of up to 20 km. According to the researchers, this is a new record for distance traveled by an atom and a photonic channel in an entangled state.

Machine Vision System Design and Integration: Challenges and Trends
Wed, Feb 19, 2020 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM EST
This webinar will help you develop a plan for your machine vision system that will ensure reliability, repeatability, standardization, and quality on the factory floor. It will discuss traditional versus deep learning systems, and when to use deep learning techniques. You will learn what to focus on when you have limited time to evaluate a system; how and when to choose a system integrator; how to quantify performance during testing; and how to build flexibility and adaptability into your system so it will serve you well for years to come. Sponsored by Teledyne DALSA, Euresys SA, Allied Vision Technologies GmbH, and IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH.
