Wireless Power Transfer System Brings Automated Charging Potential
Wireless Power Transfer System Brings Automated Charging Potential
A wireless charger overcomes some of the challenges that have hindered previous attempts to develop safe and convenient on-the-go charging systems. Tests showed that the system could transfer 400 mW of light power over distances of up to 30 m. This power is sufficient for charging sensors, and with further development, it could be increased to levels necessary to charge mobile devices.

NASA Reveals First Exoplanet Images Taken by Webb Telescope
NASA Reveals First Exoplanet Images Taken by Webb Telescope
Astronomers from the University of Exeter in the U.K. used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to capture the first direct image of a planet outside our solar system. The image, shown through four different light filters, demonstrates how the telescope’s infrared capabilities can lead the way to observations that will reveal more information than previously possible about exoplanets.

Expanding Expansion Microscopy to Reveal Hidden Nanostructures
Expanding Expansion Microscopy to Reveal Hidden Nanostructures
Inside a living cell, proteins and other molecules are often tightly packed together. These dense clusters can be difficult to image because the fluorescent labels used to make them visible can’t wedge themselves in between the molecules. Researchers at MIT developed a method to overcome this limitation by expanding a cell or tissue sample prior to labeling, effectively de-crowding the molecules and making them more accessible to fluorescent tags.

SWIR Colloidal Quantum Dot Sensor Bandwidth and Thermal Stability: Progress and Outlook SWIR Colloidal Quantum Dot Sensor Bandwidth and Thermal Stability: Progress and Outlook
Tue, Sep 20, 2022 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
Ethan Klem, Ph.D. of SWIR Vision Systems provides an overview of the performance of high-definition colloidal quantum dot (CQD) sensors and shows the less than 3 nanoseconds rise and fall time found by testing the response time of the photodiode structure using a pulsed laser source. He also presents data that demonstrates stable device operation at elevated temperature and humidity conditions. Shortwave infrared (SWIR) sensors, made using CQD photodiodes, offer CMOS-like opportunities for highly scalable, small pixel pitch sensors. This is due to the sensors’ straightforward, monolithic integration with silicon circuitry.

Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography Spectrometers for Today and Beyond Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography Spectrometers for Today and Beyond
Wed, Sep 21, 2022 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) is commonly used for ophthalmologic applications, particularly in the diagnosis and treatment of macular degeneration. It is also consistently used in research for new applications in both medical and manufacturing sectors. Heidi Olson of Ibsen Photonics discusses some of the methods currently available to achieve better SD-OCT images, as well as the new applications that can be unlocked with further development. The limitations of the available products are also explored specifically in reference to how the boundaries can be pushed to achieve better quality data with relaxed performance requirements.
