Research & Technology News
Cancer Cell Killers Revealed by Laser Microscopy
MANCHESTER, England, April 24, 2013 — A laser-based microscope video imaging technique has revealed why a particular cancer drug is so effective at killing cells. The findings could revolutionize the design of future cancer treatments.
Intricate Experiment Reveals Cause of LED Droop
SANTA BARBARA, Calif., April 24, 2013 — The future looks bright for alternative lighting now that scientists have solved the mystery that causes LEDs to “droop” in efficiency at high currents.
Waveguides Contain Spinning Photons
LONDON, April 24, 2013 — Electromagnetic waves in waveguides can now be guided in one direction by forcing photons to interact with circulating plasmon polaritons in the near field, or very close to the surface of a small metal nanostructure, an international study has...
‘Beautiful Idea’ Eliminates Middleman in Quantum Communication
COLLEGE STATION, Texas, April 23, 2013 — Information can now be exchanged between two parties without any physical particles traveling between them, essentially eliminating the middleman in quantum communication, a new study has found.
Germanium Made Laser-Compatible
ZURICH, April 23, 2013 — A manufacturing technique that alters the optical properties of germanium — an element incompatible with lasers — has rendered the semiconductor laser-compatible through high tensile strain. The discovery could enable microprocessor components to...
Plasmon Waves Control Light
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 23, 2013 — A nanoscale device that converts optical signals into surface plasmon polaritons can distinguish between different movements of polarized light and precisely manipulate the signals in one direction or another without damaging them.
System Aims to Concentrate Power of 2000 Suns
ZURICH, April 22, 2013 — A photovoltaic system capable of harnessing the power of 2000 suns and converting 80 percent of incoming light into useful energy could provide sunny, remote locations with electricity, fresh water and cooler air at lower prices than conventional...
Thermal Imaging Helps Nab Bombing Suspect
WATERTOWN, Mass., April 22, 2013 — The photonic technology of thermal imaging was literally in the spotlight on the evening of April 19 as law enforcement officials used it to monitor and capture suspected Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. On April 15, two bombs exploded in...
Space Telescope Finds 3 Super Earths
WASHINGTON, April 19, 2013 — Three super-Earth-size planets in two newly discovered planetary systems are in a “habitable zone” — a distance from their star suitable for supporting liquid water — and potentially could support life as we know it, according to NASA’s Kepler...
Fraunhofer Centre for Applied Photonics Officially Opens
GLASGOW, Scotland, April 18, 2013 — The UK headquarters for Europe’s largest contract research organization has officially opened its doors at the University of Strathclyde.
Light Cast on Sleeping Brain
MUNICH, April 18, 2013 — Rhythmic “slow wave” signals that pulse through the brain during deep sleep have been proved to originate in the cerebral cortex. Using light to stimulate and observe these waves in unprecedented detail could provide scientists with a better...
Optical Fiber Design Uses Anderson Localization
MILWAUKEE, April 18, 2013 — The first practical application of “Anderson localization” — a Nobel Prize-winning phenomenon proposed in 1958 — has yielded a new method for transmitting light through optical fibers.
ReadingMate Lets You Read on the Treadmill
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., April 18, 2013 — Do you ever get bored running endless miles on a treadmill and wish that you could read while working out? Well, now you can, thanks to a new system that steadies text on a display so you can read it as you sweat through the miles.
2 Spacecraft to Fly in Formation with Millimeter Precision
MADRID, April 17, 2013 — The European Space Agency (ESA) plans to launch two satellites in 2017 that can move as a single object with submillimeter precision. The configuration could enable the creation of large space telescopes with long focal lengths.
Dover Named President of American Laser Society
WAUSAU, Wis., April 17, 2013 — Dr. Jeffrey S. Dover has been appointed president of the American Society for Laser Medicine & Surgery (ASLMS) Inc. He will serve in the position for one year.
Photonic Topological Insulator Demonstrated
KESALSABA, Israel, April 17, 2013 — A device protecting the transport of light through a unique honeycomblike lattice structure of helical waveguides has demonstrated the photonic equivalent of a topological insulator. The discovery could bring us a step closer to quantum computing,...
3-D Laser Mapping System to Preserve Australian Heritage
ST. LUCIA, Australia, April 16, 2013 — A mobile 3-D laser mapping system that collects detailed images of historic sites could help preserve some of Australia’s oldest and most culturally significant heritage sites.
Telescope Receivers to Turn into High-Speed Cameras
DWINGELOO, Netherlands, April 16, 2013 — Receivers on the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope will become high-speed cameras, expanding the instrument’s field of view by more than a factor of 30 and increasing its frame rate to 10,000 per second. The upgrade will enable astronomers to...
Injectable microLEDs Turn Light On in Brain
CHAMPAIGN, Ill., April 15, 2013 — Microscopic LEDs injected deep inside the brain are the latest probe for triggering targeted neurons, providing insight into the brain’s structure, function and complex connections.
Technique Precisely Predicts Color from White OLED
EINDHOVEN, Netherlands, April 15, 2013 — A technique that precisely calculates the color of light produced from white OLEDs could significantly improve OLED design processes and reduce the cost.
Polycrystalline Diamond Used to Fabricate Optical Circuits
KARLSRUHE, Germany, April 12, 2013 — Optical circuits manufactured from polycrystalline diamond create new possibilities for all-optical sensor technology platforms.
Optogeneticist Creates Transparent Brain
STANFORD, Calif., April 11, 2013 — A hydrogel process that renders a postmortem mouse brain transparent to light while keeping it intact has provided a highly detailed glimpse of its inner structure.
Components Developed to Transmit Data via LEDs
BERLIN, April 10, 2013 — New components developed as part of ongoing visible light communications research have attained high-speed data throughput rates of up to 3 Gb/s using LED ceiling lamps.
QDs Form New Platform for Optical Logic
MONTREAL, April 10, 2013 — A new way of controlling light with quantum dots provides a platform for optical logic that could replace electronic transistors with optical ones.
System Images as Mice Scurry
NEWPORT NEWS, Va., April 10, 2013 — A system that acquires functional images of the brains of mice while they scamper about could provide unprecedented insight into diseases such as Alzheimer’s, autism and drug addiction.
