Biophotonics News
Machine vs. USPTO
Oct 1, 2009 — By using the scientific method – careful observation, formation of hypotheses, experimentation, interpretation and reproduction of the results – a researcher has given us a better understanding of the genomics of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, including new information about gene sequencing and the encoding of orphan enzymes. But what is particularly new is that the researcher was not a human but a robot named Adam. Meet Adam Adam was created by a team led by Ross D. King, a...
Method for Gas Chromatography Under Patent
Oct 1, 2009 — US Patent No. 7,422,625, titled “Methods and Systems for Characterizing a Sorbent Tube,” has been awarded to PerkinElmer Inc. of Waltham, Mass., a health and safety service provider. The new method provides gas chromatographers with more accurate...

1st Atomic-scale QD Map Made
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Sept. 29, 2009 – The first atomic-scale maps of quantum dots was created by a team of physicists at the University of Michigan, who say it is a major step toward producing “designer dots” that can be tailored for specific applications.
Science Medalists Named
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29, 2009 – Pioneers in the fields of astronomical telescope building, computer simulation, and medical imaging were chosen to receive the National Medal of Science, the highest honor bestowed by the US government on scientists, engineers and inventors.
ILX Partners with Mirthe
Sep 24, 2009 — ILX Lightwave Corp., a photonics instrumentation and test systems component company located in Bozeman, Mont., announced that it is now an affiliate member of the Center for Mid-InfraRed Technologies for Health and the Environment (Mirthe)....
Implant Stimulates Sight
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept, 23, 2009 – Inspired by the success of cochlear implants that can restore hearing to some deaf people, researchers at MIT are developing a retinal implant that could one day help blind people regain a useful level of vision. The eye implant is designed for...
Bling Boosts Raman Lasers
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21, 2009 – Researchers in Australia demonstrated the first Raman laser built with man-made diamonds that has comparable efficiency to a laser built with other materials.
Light Reveals Neuron Function
BERKELEY, Calif., Sept. 17, 2009 – Using innovative light-activated proteins and gene expression techniques, scientists from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California, Berkeley, zapped several zebra fish with a light pulse, initiating a swimming action in...
Casper Promoted to CEO at Thermo

BIRKERØD, Denmark, Sept. 11, 2009 – NKT Photonics A/S of Denmark said it opened a subsidiary, NKT Photonics Inc., in Morganville, N.J., to serve its growing North American market.
Blue Bananas Linked to Cell Death
INNSBRUCK, Austria, & NEW YORK, Sept. 10, 2009 – Bright blue luminescent rings found under UV light on the peels of very ripe bananas hold promise for studying how organisms rid themselves of dying cells, according to chemists in the US and Austria.
LEDs, Tea Better Than Botox?
ULM, Germany, Sept. 10, 2009 – A new noninvasive technique for treating facial wrinkles by combining high-intensity LED light and a lotion made of green tea extract could become an alternative to Botox and cosmetic surgery. The new treatment works 10 times faster than a similar...
‘Lit’ Bacteria Tracks Virus
READING, England, Sept. 9, 2009 – By attaching light-emitting genes to infectious bacteria in an experimental system, researchers tracked where in the body the bacteria go – giving an insight into the path of the infection process, which could lead to the development of more...
