Piece of energy puzzle could lead to better OLEDs and solar cells
TORONTO – Scientists have put together a couple more pieces of the puzzle to explain how energy levels align in a critical group of advanced materials, which could have implications for developing sustainable technologies such as dye-sensitized solar cells and organic LEDs. It’s been known for years that transition metal oxides, also known as superconductors, make excellent electrical contacts in organic-based devices, but the reason why hasn’t been known until now. “What we...
Spin lasers could push data into the fast lane
BOCHUM, Germany – A new concept for ultrafast semiconductor lasers uses the intrinsic angular momentum of electrons – also known as spin – to break previous speed barriers, with the potential to achieve modulation frequencies of well above 100 GHz. The...
Super absorber could boost efficiency in solar cells
EVANSTON, Ill. – A new material that absorbs a wide range of wavelengths could lead to more efficient, less expensive solar technology. Solar cells are only as efficient as the amount of sunlight they collect. Unlike a laser, the solar spectrum is “very...
Technology tracks movements of individual athletes
LAUSANNE, Switzerland – In team sports, single players can sometimes get lost on the crowded field. But a new system can follow multiple players at once, even when they’re buried under a pile of bodies in a football tackle or crouching behind another player. The...
Zinc oxide microwires boost LED performance
ATLANTA – Microwires made of zinc oxide can enhance LED performance, improving the efficiency at which LEDs convert electricity into ultraviolet light. LEDs may be the first to be enhanced by the creation of an electrical charge in a piezoelectric material...
Lidar-Based Camera Catches 20,000 Speeders in Five Days
PERTH, Australia, Dec. 30, 2011 — Despite ample warning of its installment, a lidar-based machine vision system on the Mitchell Freeway in Western Australia has caught 20,000 speeders in its first five days of operation. State Traffic Operations Inspector Mark Ridley and...
NIR Lasers in Chile Measure Satellites
DARMSTADT, Germany, Dec. 30, 2011 — The first laser measurements of Galileo operational satellites in orbit have been made from Chile. The Transportable Integrated Geodetic Observatory (TIGO) performed the laser ranging at an altitude of 23,230 km using a near-infrared laser beam. The...
Two-Photon Microscopy Reveals Skin-Allergen Connection
GOTHENBURG, Sweden, Dec. 30, 2011 — Two-photon microscopy has shown that the skin absorbs various substances differently, depending on what they are mixed with. These differences may determine whether a substance causes contact allergy. “We have also been able to identify...
Faster Lasers Sought to Map Jet Engines
SOUTHAMPTON, England, Dec. 29, 2012 — A laser that will help better understand the combustion process in jet engines and reduce emissions and pollution is being developed as part of a research project at the University of Southampton’s Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC). ...
Flamac, Imec Team to Develop New Solar Materials
LEUVEN, Belgium, Dec. 29, 2011 — The Belgian research centers Imec and Flamac have developed a novel semiconductor material for solar cell applications. The collaborators have been screening materials in search of an alternative to the standard copper indium gallium and selenium...
Giant Atoms Trapped with 90% Efficiency
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Dec. 29, 2011 — With an “egg carton” of laser light, physicists can trap giant Rydberg atoms with up to 90 percent efficiency. The achievement could advance computing and terahertz imaging and detection devices, among other applications.
STED Effect Enables Chips with Finer Features
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec. 22, 2011 — A new way to break through wavelength-related limits to feature size in state-of-the-art silicon chips could enable further leaps in computational power. The microchip revolution has seen a steady shrinking of features on silicon chips,...
Webb Telescope Engineers to Test COCOA
GREENBELT, Md., Dec. 22, 2011 — To verify the optical performance of the mirrors on the James Webb Space Telescope, NASA is using COCOA (center of curvature optical assembly) to check that the mirrors are perfectly shaped and will work in the frosty environment of space. ...
Light Used to Beam Songs Across a Room
PROVO, Utah, Dec. 21, 2011 — As part of a yearly tradition of challenging previous students’ designs, electrical engineering students at Brigham Young University created a free-space optical transmission device that beams music across a room. The device, created by...
Nanophotonic Endoscope Gently Probes Single Cells
BERKELEY, Calif., Dec. 21, 2011 — A newly developed nanophotonic endoscope can take high-resolution images of the inside of a single living cell and deliver therapeutic drugs and other cargo without injuring or damaging the cell. Fluorescence confocal image of a single living...
IR Detectors to Help Pilots AVOID Volcanic Ash
KJELLER, Norway, Dec. 20, 2011 — A camera designed to detect volcanic ash particles from a large distance may help airlines become more capable of avoiding large volcanic plumes in the future. The ash cloud resulting from the 2010 eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano...
Plasma Expands Under Ultrafast Beams
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., Dec. 20, 2012 — New insight into the behavior of ultrafast laser pulses could improve their performance in manufacturing, diagnostics and other research. A laser's pulse at durations of 100 fs, or quadrillionths of a second, causes electrons to reach...
Thermal Conductivity Tuning Could Cool Optoelectronics
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 20, 2012 — The thermal conductivity of a pair of boron nanoribbons can be enhanced by up to 45 percent — a discovery that could give rise to a new tool for managing thermal effects in smartphones, computers, lasers and other devices. Although the...
Capsule Endoscope Forges Precise Path Through the Body
TEL AVIV, Israel, Dec. 19, 2011 — Tiny capsules guided by magnetic steering are set to do the work of bulkier endoscopes, perhaps leading one day to less invasive, yet more powerful, imaging and drug delivery inside the body. At Tel Aviv University, Gabor Kosa devised a method...
Technique Combines Optical Fibers, Silicon
COLLEGE PARK, Pa., Dec. 19, 2011 — A technique for depositing a noncrystalline form of silicon (hydrogenated amorphous) into the long, ultrathin pores of optical fibers has been developed — making the optical fibers more flexible and efficient. The first of its kind, this...
Cascade Lasers Made More Powerful
WARSAW, Poland, Dec. 16, 2012 — New mid-infrared gallium arsenide (GaAs) -based cascade lasers with a pulse three times stronger than previous versions could prove useful for industrial and medical applications. The Institute of Electron Technology (ITE) has developed...
Data Transfer Hits Record of 186 Gb/s
PASADENA, Calif., Dec. 15, 2012 — With a sustained data transfer rate of 186 Gb/s, a new world record has been set, ushering in the next generation of high-speed network technology. At the SuperComputing 2011 conference in Seattle in mid-November, an international team of...
