Software Offers Panoramic Views for Endoscopy
ERLANGEN, Germany, Nov. 7, 2014 — A software program that fuses together endoscope images could offer a fuller internal view of organs to better diagnose cancer and other ailments. The program — Endorama — developed by researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits, has been used to create a panoramic image of a bladder by stitching together individual stills. Gaps signify areas of the bladder wall that have not been examined, allowing the doctor the chance to go back in and fill in the

Strong Photon-Photon Interaction Created in Fiber
VIENNA, Nov. 3, 2014 — An ultrathin glass fiber system could facilitate the interaction of pairs of photons. The technique, developed by a team at the Vienna University of Technology, could become an important tool in furthering quantum computing. To establish the...
Laser Tractor Beam Operates on Centimeter Scale
CANBERRA, Australia, Oct. 30, 2014 — A new laser tractor beam has the ability to attract and repel millimeter-scale objects over longer distances than previously possible.
Solar Cell Fabrication Technique Uses Impure Silicon
TRONDHEIM, Norway, Oct. 30, 2014 — Less-expensive raw materials in lower quantities could mean fewer production steps in manufacturing solar panels — and potentially lower energy consumption. A team from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) has developed a...
Laser Ablation Could Boost Jet, Rocket Fuel Efficiency
SOSNOVY BOR, Russia, Oct. 29, 2014 — A new approach to the concept of laser propulsion could launch satellites into orbit and push aircraft past Mach 10 with enhanced fuel efficiency. By ablating solid fuel inside a jet nozzle, laser pulses could increase the speed of gas flow out of...
‘Astro-Comb’ Rediscovers Venus to Find Exoplanets
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 28, 2014 — Examining Venus’ influence on the solar spectrum could help astronomers discover Earth-like planets orbiting distant stars. A team from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics is developing a laser-based frequency comb to measure this...
Algae Carbon Flow Controlled by Changing Light Colors
LEIPZIG, Germany, Oct. 28, 2014 — Blue and red light-sensing photoreceptors can be used to control the carbon flow in diatoms, a major group of algae that generates about one-fourth of the Earth’s oxygen and perform around a quarter of global CO2 assimilation. Researchers from...
Nanoconstructs Aid Ovarian Cancer Targeting
RIVERSIDE, Calif., Oct. 28, 2014 — Newly developed nanostructures haves proven to be effective biomarkers of ovarian cancer cells — and vehicles for their destruction. A team from the University of California, Riverside, and the University of Texas said their approach...
Video Captures Laser Pulses at ‘1 Billion FPS’
WARSAW, Poland, Oct. 24, 2014 — Hollywood laser blasts give off bright colors and are easy to track with the eye. In real life, laser pulses flash by faster than the eye — or even the fastest camera — can follow. To visualize the propagation of a roughly 12 fs pulse,...
Laser Combiner a Compact Solution for Wearable Displays
FUKUI, Japan, Oct. 23, 2014 — A laser beam combiner no larger than a grain of rice can enable laser-scanning displays in wearable computer systems. A team from the University of Fukui developed the new device. It could offer immediate, hands-free access to information via...
Grant Award Furthers Study of SWIR Light for Detecting Cancer
PISCATAWAY TOWNSHIP, N.J., Oct. 22, 2014 — Detecting cancer as early as possible can be crucial to providing effective treatment. The continuing development of a new imaging method could do just that. A Rutgers University research team, along with scientists from Singapore University of...
Blue LED Controls New Diabetes Drug
LONDON and MUNICH, Oct. 21, 2014 — A new drug for Type 2 diabetes could be controlled with violet-blue light, more effectively treating the disease through the efficient release of insulin from the pancreas.
Laser Scanner Captures 3-D Info in Real Time
DRESDEN, Germany, Oct. 17, 2014 — A 3-D laser scanner based on the human eye can focus on key sections of an image, capturing it with correspondingly higher resolution.
Intensity Increases With Loss in Microlaser
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 16, 2014 — Increasing energy loss in a laser system could actually enhance its energy, performance and efficiency.
