Researchers Count on Buckyballs to Create Tiny 'Abacus' for Processing
Dec 1, 1996 — Scientists at IBM Zurich in Switzerland have used a scanning tunneling microscope probe to reposition C-60 molecules, or "buckyballs," on a copper substrate, producing a room-temperature device that can store and manipulate numbers at a single molecule level. The molecules act as the counters of a tiny abacus, in which mono-atomic terraces in the copper surface force the buckyballs to move in a straight line. Researchers believe that hundreds of buckyball ranks could fit inside the same line...
Boeing Wins $1.1 Billion Contract to Build Laser-Armed Warplane
Dec 1, 1996 — The US Air Force awarded a $1.1 billion contract to Boeing Defense Space Group to manufacture a prototype laser-armed warplane that would target enemy ballistic missiles. The plane, a modified 747 freighter, will carry a weapons-class laser that can...
Candela Medical Laser Systems Approved for Use in Japan

Laser Chemistry Moves Toward Smaller and Faster Probes
Dec 1, 1996 — Molecular-level studies examine the effect of individual molecules on the properties of chemistry and materials. Recent progress in such studies has relied on some new laser techniques: Ultrafast lasers have recently reduced the time scale to break...
Diode-Pumped Solid-State Lasers Find Their Place in the Lab
Dec 1, 1996 — The $100 million-plus annual scientific laser market continues to be a prime area of opportunity and focus despite limited research and development expenditures in recent years. Historically dominated by gas, lamp-pumped solid-state and dye lasers,...
Lasers Control Molecular Motion
Dec 1, 1996 — In quantum mechanics, interest has turned toward controlling, rather than explaining, atomic, molecular and electronic processes. The technology of coherent control employs light-induced interference to affect the dynamics of matter and assist in...
Objective Measurements Improve Imaging Optics
Dec 1, 1996 — Determining optical quality is no easy task because of the trade-offs in specifying imaging optics. For a quantitative assessment of optics, engineers turn to modulation transfer function measurements, which measure the frequency response of an...
Lasers Offer Coherent Control of Material Behavior
Dec 1, 1996 — The goals of laser control in chemistry include manipulation of collective and molecular properties. Femtosecond lasers have already helped study crystal lattices, and more extensive manipulations are expected because of advances in laser pulse...
Optical Fiber Reaches from Lab to Factory
Dec 1, 1996 — The use of fiber optics in the laboratory has been steadily increasing for five years. Optical fiber devices can be used for temperature sensing, pressure sensing, pH measurements and material-specific sensing. However, the bulk of laboratory demand...
Laser Advances Spark Ultrafast Studies
Dec 1, 1996 — Advances in solid-state short-pulse laser oscillators, amplifiers and ultrafast optics have sparked an explosion in the number of studies of ultrafast phenomena. These experiments include direct control of chemical reactions, direct observations of...
Photomultiplier Tubes See the Light -- One Photon at a Time
Dec 1, 1996 — Dating archaeological finds, locating schools of fish, measuring food contamination, mapping the stars and monitoring pollution levels are all applications that requirer Raman spectroscopy. This article discusses appropriate optical fibers for each...
