Tapping solar’s full potential
Mar 7, 2014 — Solar cells may be a little closer to full realization of their potential, thanks to the creation of large sheets of nanotextured silicon microcell arrays. The discovery promises to make solar cells lightweight, bendable, more efficient and easily...
Tiny Lasers Could Help Fight Bio-Weapons
WASHINGTON, March 7, 2014 — Biochemical weapons could be a big threat, but a new DARPA program is proposing a very small solution: tiny lasers.
A Sticky Approach to Fighting Infection
BERKELEY, Calif., March 6, 2014 — A new nanoscale approach to studying a common source of infection could ultimately lead to the creation of bacteria-resistant materials as a line of defense.
MUSE Offers 3-D View of Distant Galaxies
CERRO PARANAL, Chile, March 6, 2014 — Far-away galaxies and bright stars could feel closer than ever, thanks to a new astronomical instrument that is a decade in the making.
Luxtera, Sun Microsystems Collaborate on Optical Interconnects
CARLSBAD, Calif., March 5, 2014 — Luxtera will join forces with Sun Microsystems to develop the next generation of optical interconnects. Under the DARPA Ultraperformance Nanophotonic Intrachip Communications (UNIC) program, the interconnects will produce new chip-to-chip and...
Young Explorers Target Mid-IR Broadband for Real-Life Applications
BRUSSELS, March 5, 2014 — Mid-IR broadband light sources are not yet widely found in real-life applications; however, an international team of young researchers may soon change that by developing an ultracompact, graphene-based version of the device. The project, called...
Michelson Awarded €2.26 Million OCT Grant
ORPINGTON, England, March 4, 2014 — The European Union has awarded Michelson Diagnostics a €2.26 million Seventh Framework Programme grant to enhance the company’s OCT technology and research. The grant will further develop Michelson’s work in diagnosing malignant...
Stimulated Emission Enhances Fluorescence Detection
TAIPEI, Taiwan, March 4, 2014 — Stimulated emission (SE) can now be used to detect the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of fluorescence and convert it to a coherent signal.
New Technique Visualizes Live Cells
NEW YORK, March 3, 2014 — A new optical imaging platform represents a significant step toward a longstanding scientific goal: visualizing small biomolecules inside living biological systems with minimum disturbance.
OSA Names Bonenfant Scholarship Winner
WASHINGTON, March 3, 2014 — Margaret Cron has been named the 2014 recipient of the OSA Foundation’s Paul Anthony Bonenfant Memorial Scholarship. A biomedical engineering student at Ohio State University, Cron will use the scholarship to attend a study-abroad program at...
Quantum Droplets Form in Laser-Shot Semiconductors
BOULDER, Colo., March 3, 2014 — The accidental discovery of a new quasiparticle that behaves like a drop of liquid could provide a better understanding of solid-state devices such as semiconductors and superconductors.
EO Accepting Applications for Educational Awards
BARRINGTON, N.J., Feb. 28, 2014 — Edmund Optics (EO) is now accepting applications for its 2014 Educational Award, formerly the Higher Education Grant program. The award combines EO’s regional grant programs, including the annual Higher Education Grant, into one global...
