UV-Activated Adhesive Treats Heart Defects
A bio-inspired, light-activated adhesive used to treat congenital heart defects could soon replace more invasive treatments such as sutures, new research indicates.
“This study demonstrated that the adhesive was strong enough to hold tissue and patches onto the heart equivalent to suturing,” said Nora Lang, M.D., of the Department of Cardiac Surgery at Boston Children's Hospital. “Nothing foreign or toxic stays in the bodies of these patients.”

The Perfect Solution for Photoluminescence Studies of Lanthanide-Doped Semiconducting Nanocrystals
Optical Building Blocks Corp.
Photoluminescence (PL) studies of lanthanide-doped semiconducting nanocrystals have become very common in materials science. The increased research interest in such materials is prompted by applications in solar energy conversion devices, lasing media, LED technologies and development of upconversion-based luminescent labels for biomedical analyses and bioimaging. The new Quattro™ bench-top luminescence spectrometer is the ideal tool to fully characterize the PL properties of such materials in the UV-VIS range.

FEATURED VIDEO
Energetiq – EQ-99 LDLS Laser Driven Light Source
Energetiq CEO Paul Blackborow discusses the company's EQ-99 LDLS laser-driven light source, winner of the 2010 Prism Award for photonics innovation in the Other Light Sources category. The EQ-99 LDLS covers a broader spectral range with lifetime at least an order of magnitude longer than traditional xenon and deuterium lamps, enabling high spectroscopic or image resolution. The Prism Awards are co-sponsored by Photonics Media and SPIE and presented during SPIE Photonics West. www.energetiq.com
