Research & Technology News
Holographic Material Stores 20 Blu-rays on 1 Disc
NISKAYUNA, N.Y., July 20, 2011 — A new microholographic material can support data recording at the same speed as Blu-ray discs but with 10 times their typical storage capacity.
Unassuming Pluto Caught Harboring Another Moon
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., July 21, 2011 — Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have discovered a fourth moon orbiting the icy dwarf planet Pluto. The tiny satellite — temporarily designated P4 — was uncovered in a survey searching for rings around the dwarf planet. ...
Hot Tip Leads to Nifty Lithography Technique
ATLANTA, July 20, 2011 — Writing circuits and other tiny structures onto flexible plastic substrates could become more practical with a technique developed by researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology. The method could facilitate high-density, low-cost production of...
In Soil, Quantum Dots Spill Their Toxic Guts
BUFFALO, N.Y., July 20, 2011 — Within 15 days of entering soil, discarded cadmium and selenium quantum dots — even those with a protective shell — begin to leak toxic elements.
Optical Router Chip Is 100 Times Faster
VALENCIA, Spain, July 20, 2011 — An optical router chip that operates up to 100 times faster than those currently available is being called a scientific milestone in the field of optical communications by its international team of developers. The first monolithically...
THz Laser Power Detector Is a Piece of Cake
GAITHERSBURG, Md., July 20, 2011— Dense arrays of extra-long carbon nanotubes absorb nearly all light of long wavelengths and are promising coatings for prototype detectors intended to measure terahertz laser power. This type of radiation can penetrate numerous materials, making it...
Diamonds Aren’t Forever
SYDNEY, Australia, July 18, 2011 — Diamond may be the hardest naturally occurring material on Earth, but admire a sparkler in unfiltered sunlight and it will start shedding atoms. The discovery shows that diamond can be etched gently instead of through the more damaging process of...
New Nanomaterials Control, Direct Light Energy
TORONTO, Canada, July 18, 2011 — Inspired by photosynthesis, researchers have engineered a new generation of nanomaterials that control and direct the energy absorbed from light. "Nanotechnologists have for many years been captivated by quantum dots — particles of...
Method Produces Liquid-Based LEDs
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., July 15, 2011 — A new liquid processing method that can control the shapes of nanowires and produce complete electronic devices has been developed at MIT. The technique, called hydrothermal synthesis, works by producing a functional LED array made of zinc...
Nanotubes Store Solar Energy Indefinitely
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., July 15, 2011 — Carbon nanotubes can be used to store solar energy and can be recharged when exposed to the sun. Storing the sun's heat in chemical form — rather than converting it to electricity or storing the heat itself in a heavily insulated...
Coated Nanowires Boost Photosensitivity
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., July 14, 2011 — By applying a coating to individual silicon nanowires, researchers at Harvard University and the University of California, Berkeley, have significantly improved the materials’ efficiency and sensitivity — a development that holds promise...
Molecules 'Light Up' Alzheimer's Roots
HOUSTON, July 14, 2011 — A breakthrough in sensing at Rice University could make finding signs of Alzheimer's disease nearly as simple as switching on a light, and should help bring about better medications to treat the devastating disease. The lab of bioengineer...
‘Optics Table on a Chip’ Superpositions Photons
GAITHERSBURG, Md., July 13, 2011 — A tiny, tunable superconducting circuit can place a single microwave photon in two frequencies simultaneously, potentially leading to the long-sought “optics table on a chip.” Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and...
New Electrochromatic Lenses Rapidly Change Color
STORRS, Conn., July 13, 2011 — Quick-changing electrochromatic transition lenses have been created that use an electric current rather than polymers to change colors in films and displays when triggered by light. The new technology has captured the interest of the US military as...
UV-Exposed Nanotubes Emit Red Light
WARSAW, Poland, July 13, 2011 — By simply attaching light-emitting chemicals to carbon nanotubes and exposing them to UV, researchers have enabled the nanotubes to emit red light. To the human eye, carbon nanotubes usually appear as a black powder. They can hardly be forced...
New Laser Tech Beefs Up DVDs and Kills Viruses
RIVERSIDE, Calif., July 12, 2011 — Imagine a laser technology that could do everything from kill viruses to increase storage capacity of DVDs. Now a team from the Bourns College of Engineering at the University of California, Riverside, has made a discovery about semiconductor...
Projecting Safety onto Robot-Filled Work Zones
MAGDEBURG, Germany, July 12, 2011 — Human employees working next to industrial robots — rather than in separate areas — could become common because of a new imaging system that keeps an eye on both. At present, automated helpers are usually enclosed by protective...
Attosecond Science for Solids
GARCHING, Germany, July 12, 2011 — A technique for controlling the motion of electrons using very fast laser pulses, first demonstrated using gaseous atoms or molecules, has been shown to work for electrons emitted from a solid. The results could allow the probing of electron...
Light Propagation Controlled in Photonic Chips
New York, N.Y., July 11, 2011 — In what is being touted as a major breakthrough in the field of telecommunications, scientists built optical nanostructures that can slow down photons and fully control light dispersion. They showed that it is possible for light to propagate from...
Squeezed Light From Single Atoms
GARCHING, Germany, July 11, 2011 — Researchers have shown that an atom interacting with light inside a cavity can alter the wavelike properties of the light, reducing its amplitude or phase fluctuations below the level allowed for classical electromagnetic radiation. The team,...
Billion-Pixel Camera to Help Map the Milky Way
PARIS, July 8, 2011 — The largest digital camera ever built for a space mission has been painstakingly pieced together from 106 separate electronic detectors. The resulting "billion-pixel array" will serve as the supersensitive eye of the European Space Agency’s...
QUEST Begins for Improved Electromagnetic Manipulation
LONDON, July 8, 2011 — Becoming invisible with the swish of a cloak or bringing cell phone coverage to previously unreachable places could soon be a reality with a £4.5 million ($7.22 million) project led by Queen Mary, University of London. The project,...
Laser, Electric Fields Combined for Novel Lab-on-a-Chip Technology
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., July 7, 2011 — New technologies that combine a laser with electric fields promise new lab-on-a-chip designs for manipulating bacteria, viruses and DNA in a range of potential applications. A new method, dubbed “hybrid optoelectric manipulation in...
Light Dragged by Slowing It to Speed of Sound
GLASGOW, Scotland, July 7, 2011 — For the first time, light has been slowed to the speed of sound using a technique that could improve optical storage and the processing of quantum information. Scientists at the University of Glasgow dragged light through various substances,...
Windshield-Embedded System Senses Fog, Darkness
BERLIN, July 7, 2011 — An optical sensor designed for use inside windshields can tell the difference between fog and darkness, providing driver-assistance systems with information they need to help prevent accidents. Quite simply, the more a car knows about its...
