Laser Spectroscopy Precisely Measures Antiproton
GARCHING, Germany, Aug. 1, 2011 — A new laser spectroscopy measurement providing the most accurate weight of antimatter yet reveals the mass of the antiproton (the proton’s antiparticle) down to 1.3 parts per billion. It is widely believed that, at the beginning of the universe, matter and antimatter were created in equal amounts during the Big Bang. Now an international team of physicists is developing concepts to explain why the visible universe seems to be made entirely out of matter and what happened to all the...
Math accelerates simulations of thin-film growth
TOLEDO, Ohio – A mathematical approach that accelerates the complex computer calculations used to simulate the formation of microthin materials was implemented recently by a physicist at the University of Toledo. Physics professor Dr. Jacques Amar used the Ohio...
Nanoscale technique designed for MS diagnosis
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – A new nanoscopic imaging technique may lead to experimental methods for early detection and diagnosis of – and possible treatments for –pathological tissues that are precursors to multiple sclerosis (MS) and similar diseases. ...
Nanoscale waveguides created for next-gen communication
BERKELEY, Calif. – The first true hybrid plasmon polariton nanoscale waveguides for next-generation on-chip optical communications systems have been demonstrated, which could hold great potential for nanophotonics, including intrachip optical communications, signal...
Optical cloaking achieved in visible spectrum
KARLSRUHE, Germany – The Karlsruhe invisibility cloak has been refined so that it is now effective in the visible spectral range. “Seeing something invisible with your own eyes is an exciting experience,” said Joachim Fischer and Tolga Ergin, physicists and...
Perfect, shallow laser welds make better car bodies
FREIBURG, Germany – The corrosion problems encountered on galvanized car bodies could be a thing of the past thanks to a new process that uses a camera to generate temperature images, enabling perfectly controlled surface laser welding. This could be much more useful...
Robotic navigation aids the visually impaired
LOS ANGELES – A robot vision-based mobility aid that was shown a year ago is now being further developed to help the visually impaired navigate city streets, neighborhoods, offices and other complex locations. This robotic navigation system has a binocular...
Sensor chirps to sniff out trace gases
GAITHERSBURG, Md. – A new “chirping” sensor developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology detects trace gases hundreds of times more quickly than similar technologies in use today. The sensor is also more sensitive and may make detectors...
Solar sheet sucks up sunlight
COLUMBIA, Mo. – A flexible solar sheet that captures more than 90 percent of available light is slated to hit the consumer market within the next five years. Generating energy using traditional photovoltaic (PV) methods of solar collection is inefficient and...
Stamping technique enables cheaper nanodevices
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A simple technique for stamping patterns invisible to the human eye onto a special class of nanomaterials provides a new, cost-effective way to produce novel devices for a wide range of applications, including drug delivery, chemical and biological...
Strobe eyewear training may improve vision in athletes
DURHAM, N.C. – Strobelike eyewear designed to train the vision of athletes may have positive effects, including improvements in noticing brief stimuli and detecting small changes in motion, according to tests run by a team of psychologists at Duke University. ...
Superstable laser shines in minivan test
BOULDER, Colo. – Think of the jounces you sometimes feel when riding in a car or a van. Now imagine taking a laser on the road that is sensitive to even minimal vibration. In a step toward making the most advanced atomic clocks more portable, scientists have...
Emission Lifetime in Semiconductors Reduced
PHILADELPHIA, July 29, 2011 — Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania have reduced the emission lifetime for photovoltaic devices by applying the “whispering galleries” concept to semiconducting nanowires. In architecture, a whispering gallery is a dome or a...
First 3-D ‘Printed’ Aircraft Flown
SOUTHAMPTON, England, July 29, 2011 — A nylon laser sintering machine has been used for the first time to fabricate and “print” the entire structure of an unmanned air vehicle (UAV), including its wings, integral control surface and access hatches. The Southampton...
Live-Imaging Technique Goes Sharper, Deeper, Faster
PASADENA, Calif., July 29, 2011 — Researchers from the California Institute of Technology have developed a novel approach that could redefine optical imaging of live biological samples by simultaneously achieving high resolution, high penetration depth and high imaging speed. ...
How to Tell Real Scotch Whisky from Fake — Faster
GLASGOW, SCOTLAND, July 28, 2011 — Scientists at the University of Strathclyde have developed a method for distinguishing authentic from counterfeit Scotch whisky brands. The group used mid-IR spectrometry with attenuated total reflectance (ATR) to differentiate types of the drink...
Five Bucks and a Cell Phone Builds a Flow Cytometer
LOS ANGELES, July 27, 2011 — At the University of California, researchers from the Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science have developed a compact, lightweight and cost-effective optofluidic platform that integrates imaging cytometry and fluorescent microscopy...
Max Planck Physicist Honored for Attosecond Imaging
GIESSEN, Germany, July 27, 2011 — Matthias Kling, head of the attosecond imaging research group at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching, Germany, is to receive this year’s Röntgen Prize from the Justus-Liebig-University in recognition of his...
Metamaterial Engineers Blackbody Radiation
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass., July 27, 2011 — Thermophotovoltaics may get a boost from a new designer metamaterial that can engineer emitted blackbody radiation with an efficiency beyond the natural limits imposed by the material's temperature. A blackbody object represents a theorized...
Laser Surgery Promising as Epilepsy Cure
HOUSTON, July 26, 2011 — To most parents, a child’s laughter is music to their ears, but when 8-year-old Keagan Dysart laughed, it meant he was having a gelastic seizure — a rare convulsion that caused him to laugh uncontrollably two to three times an hour. But...
Laser Therapy May Help Snake-Bitten Dogs
FORT COLLINS, Colo., July 26, 2011 — A new study is testing the effectiveness of laser light therapy as a low-cost alternative to antivenom for dogs that have been bitten by a rattlesnake. Dogs are commonly bit in the face, which may balloon from swelling. Rattlesnake venom...
Physicist Decides to Build Own Microscope inSTED
DENVER, July 26, 2011 — Physicist Stephanie Meyer is bringing new capabilities to the University of Colorado Denver Anschutz Medical Campus by building an advanced, superresolution microscope that can see some of the innermost workings of neurons and other cells. ...
Study Shows That Volvo Laser Sensor Prevents Crashes
ROCKLEIGH, N.J., July 26, 2011 — A midsize Volvo SUV equipped with collision-avoidance laser sensor technology gets into fewer low-speed crashes than comparable vehicles, according to a study conducted by two institutes concerned with highway safety.
First Optoelectronic 3-D Photonic Crystal Developed
CHAMPAIGN, Ill., July 25, 2011 — Using an epitaxial approach, the first optoelectronically active 3-D photonic crystal has been demonstrated – an advance that could open new avenues for solar cells, lasers, LEDs, metamaterials and more. "We’ve discovered a way to change...
Hitachi Electron Microscopy Products Centre Opens
EDMONTON, Alberta, Canada, July 21, 2011 — The official opening of the Hitachi Electron Microscopy Products Centre (HEMiC) is providing access to a uniquely configured transmission electron microscope, the first of its kind outside of Japan. Installed at the National Institute for...
