Research & Technology News
Taking the ‘Fry’ Out of the Skyscraper
LONDON, Sept. 12, 2013 — A pan-European consortium aims to give city planners key environmental analytic tools, something that could prevent the building of another Jaguar-melting, egg-frying, cornea-searing "fryscraper." The curved surface of the $378 million, 37-story tower under construction at 20 Fenchurch St. in London’s financial district — nicknamed "The Walkie Talkie" for its top-heavy shape — concentrates and reflects sunlight hot enough to melt car parts, blister paint and fry an egg on....
Bioimaging Laser Branches Out to Bomb Detection
EAST LANSING, Mich., Sept. 10, 2013 — A method originally developed for biomedical imaging puts the possibility of bomb-detecting lasers at security checkpoints within reach. Michigan State University chemistry professor Marcos Dantus has developed a laser that senses micro traces of...
New UV LED Suits Commercial Applications
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 10, 2013 — An ultraviolet LED created from semiconductor nanowires doped with the rare-earth element gadolinium could lead to more portable and low-cost commercial uses of the technology.
Sculpted Light Captures Brain Activity
VIENNA, Sept. 9, 2013 — A high-speed imaging technique that “sculpts” the 3-D distribution of light in a sample can resolve a single neuron in a living worm, opening possibilities for studying the function of the organism’s nervous system and pairing...
Lunar Mission to Test Space Laser
WALLOPS ISLAND, Va., Sept. 6, 2013 — With the upcoming launch of NASA’s moon-orbiting Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE), the space agency is also venturing into what it hopes will be a new era of broadband space communications using lasers. LADEE, a robotic...
Laser-Based Tool Tells Normal Tissue From Tumors
ANN ARBOR, Mich., & CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 5, 2013 — A new laser tool can microscopically distinguish between normal and cancerous brain tissue in real time. Since it doesn’t miss cells that could trigger new tumor growth, the method could make brain cancer surgery much more effective.
Southampton Opening Center for Photonics, Electronics
SOUTHAMPTON, England, Sept. 5, 2013 — The largest photonics and electronics institute in the UK officially opens Sept. 12 at the University of Southampton. The Zepler Institute, a multidisciplinary center, will allow more than 300 researchers in photonics, advanced materials and quantum...
Synopsys Names Winners of Optical Design Contest
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Sept. 4, 2013 — Three students from the University of Rochester and one from the University of Arizona were named winners of the 2013 Robert S. Hilbert Memorial Optical Design Competition on Wednesday by contest sponsor Synopsys. Matthew Bergkoetter, James Corsetti...
Superbright Nanocrystals Advance Biosensing
SYDNEY & ADELAIDE, Australia, Sept. 3, 2013 — The combination of a special kind of nanocrystal known as a SuperDot™ and a unique optical fiber that enables light to interact with nanoscale volumes of liquid has allowed the detection of a single nanoparticle from a distance using light. These...
Agilent Opens Spectroscopy Center in Australia
MULGRAVE, Australia, Sept. 2, 2013 — Agilent Technologies Inc. has opened a $25 million center in Australia for cutting-edge spectroscopy research, laboratory testing and training. “The Spectroscopy Technology Innovation Center is Agilent’s next big leap in developing...
Fiber design could boost Internet bandwidth
BOSTON – A new kind of optical fiber stable enough to transmit donut-shaped laser beams called optical vortices, or orbital angular momentum (OAM) beams, promises to increase bandwidth dramatically to meet today’s ever-increasing demand for...
Fluorescent fingerprint tag IDs ‘hidden’ prints
LEICESTER, England – Criminals might want to think twice before touching anything, now that a new fluorescent tagging technique could yield more usable results from latent fingerprints on metal surfaces. The odds that any two people have identical fingerprints are 64...
Laser-guided codes advance THz imaging
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – A single-pixel imaging technique uses laser-guided codes to quickly and efficiently manipulate stubborn terahertz waves, producing clear images in a matter of seconds. Imaging and sensing using terahertz holds the potential to advance areas such as...
Microscopy technique could help make 3-D components
GAITHERSBURG, Md. – A technique developed several years ago to improve optical microscopes has now been applied to monitoring the next generation of computer chip circuit components, providing a crucial tool for developing 3-D components. Through-focus scanning optical...
Multiview 3-D photography simplified
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – A small checkerboard-patterned plastic film inserted beneath the lens of an ordinary camera can transform the device into a light-field camera capable of producing multiperspective images. Current light-field cameras trade a good deal of resolution...
New photodetector makes do with few photons
COLLEGE PARK, Md. – The fundamental probabilistic nature of light makes it impossible to perfectly distinguish light from dark at very low intensity. Low power and high fidelity in reading data are especially important for secure communications and quantum computation;...
Optical chip enables affordable holographic displays
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – When Daniel Smalley saw the Mark II holographic video display at MIT, he had to have one. And he will, thanks to a new approach he devised that could produce reasonably priced standard-definition, full-color holograms. “I had to come up with...
Optical microphone listens with light
OSLO, Norway – A nearly 1-mm-thick optical sensor that measures minute movements and extremely quiet sounds could improve the sensitivity of microphones and give them a sense of direction. The technology could enable microphones to “see where the sound comes...
Tabletop device accelerates electrons to 2 GeV
AUSTIN, Texas – Until recently, if you wanted to speed up electrons to 2 gigaelectron volts (GeV), you needed a multimillion-dollar accelerator nearly 200 m long. But not anymore: Now you just need a tabletop device. “We have accelerated about half a billion...
Conference to Explore Laser-based Weather Control
GENEVA, Aug. 30, 2013 — Ultrashort-pulse lasers as an emerging tool for controlling the weather will be the topic of interest at a gathering of atmospheric physicists, meteorologists and climatologists next month at the World Meteorological Organisation in Geneva. The...
Spaghetti-like Surface Makes Stronger SERS Sensor
ZURICH & LIVERMORE, Calif., Aug. 30, 2013 — An innovative plasmonic sensor amplifies the signals of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) using a novel substrate based on carbon nanotubes with metal-coated tips. Scientists at ETH Zurich and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory...
Light to the Heart to Restore Healthy Beats
BALTIMORE, Aug. 29, 2013 — When a person’s heart slows or stops, the current practice is to jump-start it with a blast of electricity from a pacemaker or defibrillator. But a multi-university team aims to put an optogenetic twist on the procedure by replacing the violent jolt...
Existence of New Element Confirmed
DARMSTADT, Germany, Aug. 28, 2013 — Fresh evidence has been provided for the existence of a new, yet-to-be-named superheavy chemical element by measuring photons in connection with its decay. The experiment was conducted at the GSI research facility in Germany by an international team...
For Phasing Nanocrystals, Size Really Matters
BERKELEY, Calif., Aug. 27, 2013 — Size is of much greater importance than previously believed in metal nanocrystals undergoing phase transformations, a finding that has important implications for the future design of hydrogen storage systems, catalysts, fuel cells and batteries.
Lab-Made Antennas Are Sun ‘Sponges’
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 27, 2013 — The evolutionary chemical machinery of nature — and a dash of human ingenuity — have created synthetic light-harvesting antennas that convert sunlight into unprecedented amounts of usable energy.
