Research & Technology News
Laser Blinds Heat-Seeking Missiles
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Sept. 7, 2010 — New laser technology is being developed that will protect helicopters in combat from heat-seeking missiles. "Battlefield terrain in places like Afghanistan and Iraq can be so rough that our troops have often had to rely on helicopters, and they can be easy targets for enemies with shoulder-launched missiles," said Mohammed Islam, a professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Michigan. "Our lasers give off a signal that’s like...
LEDs: Not So Green After All?
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Sept. 7, 2010 — Solid-state lighting pioneers long have held that replacing the inefficient Edison light bulb with more efficient solid-state LEDs would lower electrical usage worldwide, not only decreasing the need for new power plants but even permitting some to...
Listening to Ancient Colors
MONTREAL, Sept. 7, 2010 — A technique known as photoacoustic infrared spectroscopy can be used to identify the composition of pigments used in artwork that is decades or even centuries old, a team of McGill University chemists has discovered. Pigments give artist's materials...
Sputtering Technique Ups Coating Efficiency
BRAUNSCHWEIG, Germany, Sept. 3, 2010 — Sputtering is the phenomenon that occurs when energy-rich ions hit a solid object and cause atoms to be released from its surface. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Thin Film and Surface Technology IST have discovered a special sputtering...
'Piezotronic' Logic Device Devised
ATLANTA, Sept. 2, 2010 — Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a new class of electronic logic devices in which current is switched by an electric field generated by the application of mechanical strain to zinc oxide nanowires. The devices, which...
Laser ‘Bottle’ Gravity Test Proposed
GAITHERSBURG, Md., Sept. 2, 2010 — A new experiment proposed by physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) may allow researchers to test the effects of gravity with unprecedented precision at very short distances — a scale at which exotic new...
AMS Arrives at Kennedy Space Center
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla., Sept. 1, 2010 — The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS), an experiment that will search for antimatter and dark matter in space, arrived recently at the Kennedy Space Center as it moves forward on its journey to the International Space Station. The AMS detector was...
An unexpected dark pulse laser
BOULDER, Colo. – Sometimes what isn’t there can be as interesting as what is. In working to develop mode-locked quantum dot diode lasers, researchers have discovered something unforeseen: a dark pulse laser. The device emits a steady beam of light, with...
Applications abound for newly licensed microLEDs
STRATHCLYDE, UK – Communications and life sciences can expect a boost from a newly formed company in Glasgow. In a spinout deal, the University of Strathclyde has formed mLED Ltd., a company dedicated to promoting its newly licensed microLEDs, dense arrays of up...
Curved light bends the rules
TEL AVIV, Israel – Conventional thinking leads us to believe that light only follows a straight path and that it diffracts as it travels. But some scientists are breaking all the rules by creating a new class of nondiffracting optical beam that can bend around...
Nano light mill motor controlled by wavelength changes
BERKELEY, Calif. – A newly developed light mill could lead to a whole new crop of nanoscale devices, including nanoscale solar light harvesters, nanoelectromechanical systems, and nanobots that could manipulate DNA and other biological molecules in vivo. ...
Photonics in South Korea and Singapore: People and places
Sep 1, 2010 — As is well known, South Korea is a high-tech industrialized nation and currently among the world’s 20 largest economies. Gwangju, its sixth largest city, was home to the World Photonics Expo 2010 in the spring and is the seat of the Korea...
Sound helps make a better optical clock
BRAUNSCHWEIG,Germany – Optical fibers are commonly used to transmit information and data via modulated light pulses. Now, however, three researchers at Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), working with optical frequencies rather than voice or data, are seeking to...
US Distribution
Sep 1, 2010 — Precision Solutions of Stevenage, UK, has appointed Metrology Concepts LLC as its US distributor for the Interfire II family of infrared interferometers. Based in Rochester, N.Y., the latter company specializes in surface and wavefront measurement...
Using Reverse Engineering to Discover Patent Infringement
Sep 1, 2010 — Fundamental to building and executing any successful patent licensing program is the ability to find and prove evidence of infringement, often through reverse engineering methods. This article explores the role of reverse engineering in identifying...
Self-Cleaning Solar Cells
BOSTON, Aug. 30, 2010 — Large-scale solar installations are most efficient in desert regions where the sun is the strongest. Unfortunately those regions are also clouded with dust that gets into, and onto, everything — including solar panels. Now, based on technology...
‘Spintronics’ Breakthrough Promising for Computers
LAWRENCE, Kan. Aug, 27, 2010 — Using powerful lasers, researchers have now discovered a way to recognize currents of spinning electrons within a semiconductor. The discovery, dubbed “spintronics,” could lead the way to development of superior computers and...
Revealing How Cells Die
BUFFALO, N.Y., Aug. 27, 2010 — Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is essential to normal development, healthy immune system function and cancer prevention. The process dramatically transforms cellular structures, but the limitations of conventional microscopy methods have kept...
Bright Boost for Fluorescent Probes
PITTSBURGH, Aug. 26, 2010 – Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University’s Molecular Biosensor and Imaging Center (MBIC) are turning up the brightness on a group of fluorescent probes called fluoromodules that are used to monitor biological activities of individual...
DNA Helps Chemists Build Artificial Nose
STANFORD, Calif., Aug. 25, 2010 — A new approach to building an artificial nose – using fluorescent compounds and DNA – could accelerate the use of sniffing sensors into the realm of mass production and widespread use, say Stanford University chemists. If their method...
Nova Explosion Reveals Gamma Rays
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25, 2010 — Using the Large Area Telescope (LAT) onboard NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope satellite, astronomers have detected gamma rays from a nova for the first time, a finding that surprises both observers and theorists. The discovery dispels the...
Ocean Optics LIBS IDs Fake Antiques
DUNEDIN, Fla., Aug. 25, 2010 — To separate authentic ceramic antiques from fakes, nationally recognized antiques appraiser Guan Haisen has employed an Ocean Optics LIBS system, with QE65000 spectrometer, to help him identify artificially aged ceramics and artifacts. Using...
Olympus Scanner Wins 2 Awards
HAMBURG, Germany, August 25, 2010 — Olympus won a pair of awards at the first European Scanner Contest, which took place May 25-29 in Berlin, running parallel to the 94th annual meeting of the German Society of Pathology. With categories in quality, mass scanning and cytology,...
Bright Future for Solar in India
Aug 24, 2010 — Hello friends, how have you been this past week? I'm back, and here's one more from the recently held Solarcon India 2010 in Hyderabad, India. Following the aggressive announcements made by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE),...
