Research & Technology News
UV Takes Water Treatment Chemical-Free
STUTTGART, Germany, May 2, 2014 — A new UV process quickly breaks down pollutants in wastewater without help from chemical catalysts. The system uses 172-nm light to trigger photolysis, splitting H2O molecules into highly reactive hydroxyl radicals. “These hydroxyl compounds have an even higher reaction potential than atomic oxygen, for example,” said Siegfried Egner, head of the Physical Process Technology department at the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology IGB.
Bug Sensors Could Slow Infection, Defend Crops
RIVERSIDE, Calif. and SAO PAULO, Brazil, May 1, 2014 — Better classification of insects in the wild could be a key to protecting crops and halting the spread of diseases. A team from the University of California, Riverside, in collaboration with the University of Sao Paulo and ISCA Technologies, has...
Photoactive Material Could Ease Dental Woes
VIENNA, May 1, 2014 — A visit to the dentist may not be the most fun experience, but a new material could make it more tolerable. A new generation of dental filling materials that harden more quickly under blue light has been developed by a team at the Vienna University...
Ophthalmology Diagnostics Market to Reach $40 Billion by 2019
ALBANY, N.Y., April 30, 2014 — The ophthalmology diagnostics and surgical devices market is poised to reach $40.4 billion by 2019, up from just over $26 billion in 2012. Transparency Market Research made the prediction in a recent report that forecasts an annual global growth of...
Photomultiplier Detects Ocean Color at Night
GREENBELT, Md., April 30, 2014 — Just how blue the ocean is can be a clue to the health of its inhabitants, and now scientists have a way of gauging that color even under dark of night. A team at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and Biospherical Instruments Inc. has developed a...
Fluorescent Tool Shows Nanoparticles Biodegrade in Real Time
PHILADELPHIA, April 29, 2014 — A recent study using Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) to chart the disintegration of nanoparticles in living tissue in real time could aid the development of safe nano-drug delivery methods. “Nanoparticles are made with very...
Perovskite-Based Solar Cells Gaining in Efficiency
GOLDEN, Colo., April 29, 2014 — Perovskites are showing promise as materials for a new generation of highly efficient, low-cost solar cells. A team from the US Energy Department’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is studying the perovskite (CH3NH3)PbI3 to...
LED System Simulates Sunlight Indoors
COMO, Italy, April 28, 2014 — In a project funded by the European Commission Horizon 2020 program, CoeLux Srl has developed CoeLux, a new product that simulates sunlight indoors.
Microscopy Enables Detailed Insights into Mitochondria
MUNICH, April 28, 2014 — A new microscopy technique combining confocal and two-photon excitation microscopy with in situ pharmacological and genetic manipulation has given researchers insight into how the nervous system responds to disease and injury — at the...
Brain Wave Control Could Improve Vision
URBANA, Ill., April 25, 2014 — The brain's preparation state -- whether it's focused or unconscious -- can have a significant impact on vision. Alpha waves, which characterize the brain’s electrical activity while at rest, can influence vision, a team of researchers from...
Femtosecond Lasers Control Chemical Reactions
VIENNA, April 25, 2014 — Hitting molecules with ultrafast lasers can affect electrons and trigger unaccustomed chemical reactions. Researchers at the Photonics Institute of the Vienna University of Technology, succeeded in directly inducing the splitting of hydrocarbons...
Plasmonic Probes Help Quantify Breast Cancer Gene Segments
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., April 25, 2014 — Hyperspectral imaging using plasmonic probes can ferret out a specific genetic telltale for breast cancer within individual cells, according to recent research from Purdue University. That genetic telltale is BRCA1, a tumor suppressor gene....
Simple Lens-Making Method Turns Phones into Dermascopes
CANBERRA, Austalia, April 25, 2014 — High-resolution silicon polymer lenses can be baked in conventional ovens and attached to smartphones to make an inexpensive microscope.
Ballato Recognized for Work on Optical Materials
CHARLESTON, S.C., April 23, 2014 — John Ballato is one of three people to receive the 2014 Governor's Award for Excellence in Scientific Research. This recognizes his work in optical materials science.
Dual-Catalyst Technique Allows Better Control of Molecules
MADISON, Wis., April 24, 2014 — Chemical reactions usually happen on their own terms. But now, researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison have discovered a way to create molecules with controlled chirality using sunlight as one of two catalysts.
Optogenetic Switch Now Works Both Ways: On and Off
STANFORD, Calif., April 24, 2014 — Since the beginning of optogenetics, the technique has been more effective at switching neurons on than off -- but not anymore. Building from Dr. Karl Deisseroth’s discovery about a decade ago of optogenetics — in which light-activated...
Blue LEDs Fail Color Differentiation Test
STATE COLLEGE, Pa., and FREMONT, Calif., April 23, 2014 — Not all shades of white are identical, although traditional and some LED lighting can make this difficult to prove. A study by researchers from Pennsylvania State University and Soraa Inc. focused on various combinations of light sources and white...
Noninvasive Imaging Method Promising for Skin Assessment
LEICESTER, England, April 23, 2014 — The complex biological process of skin aging can now be studied more extensively and efficiently, thanks to a new low-cost laser-based technique.
Stress Activates Light-Emitting Nanowires
ZURICH, April 23, 2014 — Stretching gallium arsenide nanowires makes them better light emitters, while compression makes them better light absorbers.
Electricity Changes Polymer’s Optical Properties
MILAN, WARSAW, Poland and DRESDEN, Germany, April 22, 2014 — A newly developed polymer is said to be the first of its kind to combine optical and electrical properties. This could mean new manufacturing possibilities for glass, polarization filters and sensors capable of detecting single molecules of a given...
Adaptive Optics Detect Early Diabetes Eye Damage
BLOOMINGTON, Ind., April 21, 2014 — Vision loss is a threat for millions of those suffering from diabetes. The earlier it can be detected, the sooner and potentially more effectively it can be treated.
Carbon Spaser Could Zap Cancer Cells
MELBOURNE, Australia, April 21, 2014 — A carbon-based nanolaser could be used to zap cancer cells, or enable electronics small and flexible enough to be printed on clothing.
