Research & Technology News
Tying knots in light
CANBERRA, Australia – Light can be coaxed to tie itself into knots, but new research suggests that the knot-tying can happen spontaneously – under the right conditions. Australian National University physicists have produced a model from physics and mathematical concepts that generates optical vortices with dark cores in a bright laser beam, which tangle into knots. The light knots have potential applications in quantum computing, laser beams and advanced modern optics. “Apart from their curiosity ...
Photons Sense Each Other
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Dec. 28, 2012 — Photons can “sense” each other and coordinate their separate paths through a complex material, new research from the Niels Bohr Institute shows.
Peel-and-Stick Solar Cells Add More than Flexibility
STANFORD, Calif., Dec. 27, 2012 — Unlike their stiff, inflexible cousins, new peel-and-stick thin-film solar cells can be peeled off like Band-Aids and stuck to virtually any surface, from paper to windowpanes. Unlike standard thin-film photovoltaic (PV) cells, the peel-and-stick...
Light Turns to Sound, then to Scalpel
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Dec. 26, 2012 — Converting light to sound with a nanotube-coated lens can create finer ultrasound waves than ever before, and the new optoacoustic technique could someday be honed to create an invisible blade for noninvasive — and maybe even painless — microsurgery.
Laser Technique Reveals How Ear Amplifies Sound
NEW YORK, Dec. 20, 2012 — When illuminated by an ultraviolet laser, a newly developed photonic drug has been shown to inactivate prestin, a motor protein in the ear, revealing how the cochlea amplifies sound.
Photonic FEL Enables Better Drug Profiling
ENSCHEDE, Netherlands, Dec. 20, 2012 — The combination of a free-electron laser and a photonic crystal enables better “fingerprinting” of a drug than is possible via chemical analysis.
iTube Detects Allergens via Cellphone
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 19, 2012 — Want to avoid blowing up like a balloon eating prepackaged food that may contain harmful food allergens? Well, thanks to a smartphone application that can test food samples for life-threatening allergens on the spot, you can do just that.
Nanomechanical Fiber Goes Beyond Light Transmission
SOUTHAMPTON, England, Dec. 19, 2012 — A new dual-core optical fiber that can perform the functions of signal switches, routers and buffers by applying a minute amount of mechanical pressure could significantly enhance data processing and perform sensing functions in electronic devices.
Delicate Systems Observed with Quantum Physics
BARCELONA, Spain, Dec. 18, 2012 — Groups of photons prepared in certain quantum states can noninvasively probe ultrasensitive objects such as individual atoms or living cells, overcoming the standard quantum limit for the first time.
Light Triggers Biochemical Reactions
HOUSTON, Dec. 18, 2012 — Biochemical reactions can now be remotely triggered on demand, thanks to a new technique that turns light into heat at the point of need on the nanoscale.
Microactuator Flexes Under Laser Light
BERKELEY, Calif., Dec. 17, 2012 — A microscale actuator that flexes like a tiny beckoning finger under a burst of laser light may point toward practical applications in artificial muscles, microfluidics and drug delivery.
Standardized Testing for Skin Damage
TAIPEI CITY, Taiwan, Dec. 17, 2012 — Beauty is only skin deep, and now scientists can use a laser microscopy technique to gauge a person’s true age from his/her most shallow layer — the skin. The method could provide a standardized way to measure the extent of skin damage and the...
Electrically Conductive Nanoparticles Generate Heat to Kill Cancer Cells
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., Dec. 14, 2012 — Electrically conductive polymers, commonly used in solar energy applications, have been modified to kill colorectal cancer cells when exposed to infrared light.
Hot Graphite Shines New Light on Laser-driven Fusion
COVENTRY and OXFORD, England, Dec. 14, 2012 — A new strongly heated graphite experiment has left an international team of researchers with some unexpected results that may shine new light on giant planets, white dwarfs and laser-driven fusion.
W.M. Keck Foundation Grants $1M for Biomedical Research
PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 14, 2012 — Oregon Health & Science University’s Knight Cancer Institute has secured a $1 million grant to develop microscopy technology to advance biomedical research.
Laser Optics Enable View Inside a Fly’s Eye
VIENNA, Dec. 12, 2012 — New laser optics technology that supports high-resolution 3-D microscopy is providing a view into the interior of flies, mice and even medical tissue samples.
Tiny Terahertz Imager Chip Created
PASADENA, Calif., Dec. 11, 2012 — Tiny, inexpensive silicon microchips that generate and radiate terahertz waves could be incorporated into handheld devices, such as smartphones, to suss out explosives in solid objects.
A Black Hole for Light
PRINCETON, N.J., Dec. 10, 2012 — A nanostructured “sandwich” of semiconductor material that collects and traps light has nearly tripled the efficiency of organic solar cells.
Pointing Light Toward Faster Optical Communications
PASADENA, Calif., Dec. 10, 2012 — A device that focuses light into a point just a few nanometer across could lead to more efficient optical devices and higher-resolution imaging systems.
Microscopy Tool Adds ‘Color’ with Nanoscale Resolution
BERKELEY, Calif., Dec. 7, 2012 — Nanoscale objects can now be examined in full color, thanks to a new microscopy tip that delivers chemical details with a resolution once thought impossible. The nanotool could help scientists probe solar-to-electric energy conversion at its most...
Sprinkled Silver Nanocubes Make Super Light Absorbers
DURHAM, N.C., Dec. 7, 2012 — Microscopic silver cubes, when sprinkled at random on a polymer-coated gold surface, can provide a simple and tunable way to create large-area absorbers that “perfectly” absorb light of a given wavelength.
FEL Pulse Temporal Profile Made in a FLASH
SAN SEBASTIÁN, Spain, Dec. 6, 2012 — The temporal profile of an individual free-electron laser (FEL) pulse now can be measured with femtosecond precision using FLASH, a soft-x-ray FEL. The technique could be used to film atoms in motion or to study chemical reactions and phase...
Plasmonic Optical Tweezers Could Trap Tiny Proteins
STANFORD, Calif., Dec. 5, 2012 — An innovative aperture design based on plasmonics could focus light so effectively that tiny beams could trap and manipulate particles as small as a few atoms.
Ben-Gurion Awarded $6.5M to Develop Nanocoating for Night Vision
BEER-SHEVA, Israel, Dec. 4, 2012 — A team led by Ben-Gurion University of the Negev has received a $6.5 million grant to develop a thin-film nanocoating for night- vision glasses that change invisible light to visible using the short-wave infrared light spectrum.
Indium-Free OLEDs
AMES, Iowa, Dec. 4, 2012 — A limited supply and increased demand for indium tin oxide — the chemical compound used in screen displays in computers, TVs and cell phones — has scientists searching for a viable substitute to create indium-free organic LEDs. A well-known...
