Technique Engineers More Efficient Layered Perovskites

North Carolina State University researchers have developed and demonstrated a technique that allows them to engineer a class of materials called layered hybrid perovskites down to the atomic level, which dictates how the materials convert electrical charge into light. The technique opens the door to engineering materials tailored for use in next-generation printed LEDs and lasers – and holds promise for engineering other materials for use in photovoltaic devices.

Free-Form Dual Comb Technology Improves Gas Leak Detection

A smart dual-comb spectroscopy (DCS) technique, from the scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, detects gases and other substances with more speed and sensitivity than traditional dual-comb methods. The new, free-form DCS method quickly identifies the most information-rich parts of a sample’s fingerprint, making detection and measurement of substances more efficient. Read Article

Multiplex Imaging: Camera, Lights, Optics, Action!

Tue, Oct 29, 2024 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EDT
Multiplex imaging, either multicolor fluorescence or multispectral absorption and reflection imaging, is rapidly gaining popularity in the life sciences and medical arenas. Being able to image samples at a variety of wavelengths in live or fixed samples provides a depth of information that was never possible to attain with conventional microscopy. From deeper tissue penetration to enhanced surgical guidance and improved disease detection, multiplex imaging enhances medical diagnostics with noninvasive, detailed, live insights into pathological and physiological states of tissue for better patient outcomes. This webinar discusses the options and requirements for performing multiplex imaging from the illumination to the detection and the optics in between to navigate the light to and from the sample. Presented by Excelitas Technologies Corp.
