Graphene on Chip Closing the Gap with Germanium
Graphene-based photodetectors can efficiently convert infrared light into electrical signals. The work by three independent groups "makes it very likely that graphene will soon replace germanium and compound semiconductors in high-performance light detectors," said editors at Nature Photonics, which published all three papers.

Tunable Polymer Could Make Truly White OLED
Doping an organic polymer with platinum atoms makes the light it emits tunable, which could lead to the realization of cheaper, more efficient and truly white OLEDs, says a physicist at the University of Utah.

Haptic Optical Tweezers Let Us ‘Feel’ Microstructures
A new technology called haptic optical tweezers allows microscope users to manipulate samples by sight and touch. The tweezers “will become an invaluable tool for force feedback micromanipulation of biological samples and nano- and microassembly parts,” said Dr. Cécile Pacoret of Université Pierre et Marie Curie, a co-author of the study.

Laser Spectroscopy Overcomes Measurement Challenge
A "remarkably simple" laser-based approach developed at Drexel University overcomes the challenge of measuring key aspects of electron behavior while designing ever-smaller components - which could allow cellphones, laptops and tablets to get increasingly thinner and more energy efficient.

Taking the ‘Fry’ Out of the Skyscraper
A pan-European consortium aims to give city planners key environmental analytic tools, something that could prevent the building of another Jaguar-melting, egg-frying, cornea-searing "fryscraper" like the 37-story tower now under construction in downtown London.

Dynamic – Dynamic Range
PCO-TECH Inc.
The dynamic or dynamic range of a CCD-camera system is a widely used term to characterize the ability of a camera system to measure or image light/dark differences. In the field of photography, the dynamic range is analogous to the contrast range. However, each manufacturer defines dynamic range differently. A distinction must be made, between the “dynamic range of a CCD image sensor”, “dynamic range of an analog-to-digital-conversion” and “usable dynamic range”.

The Light-Controlled Factory Project
Dr. Jody Muelaner
University of Bath
The light-controlled factory project will address issues experienced in large-scale, high-value manufacturing. Dr. Muelaner will outline the project, which received funding earlier this year to explore the next generation of factories ¬ specifically, the use of lasers and optical methods for measurement and the control of machines.
