Research & Technology News
Imaging microcavities sheds light on random laser operation
SALT LAKE CITY – Researchers from the University of Utah’s Dixon Laser Institute have managed to visualize the microscopic cavities responsible for laser action in random lasers, helping to explain how this relatively new type of laser really works.
Laser pulses reveal contact mechanics
SAPPORO, Japan – The next time you are sitting at your desk full of papers, pens, files and perhaps a coffee mug, take a closer look at the points where these objects meet the desk. What do you see? If you could magnify the nanoscale interface of where the object...
Laser trapping gets tighter grip on larger particles
KARMIEL, Israel, ST. PETERSBURG, Russia, and SAPPORO, Japan – Using light to trap particles as small as atoms has been popular with researchers for some time, a technique that enables optical cooling and trapping, as recognized by the 1997 Nobel Prize in physics. Now trapping of bigger particles has moved up...
NEMS Oscillators May Detect Toxins
ITHACA, N.Y., March 18, 2010 - By watching how energy moves across a tiny device Cornell researchers are a step closer to creating extraordinarily tiny sensors that can instantly recognize harmful substances in ...
Ultrasensitive sensor causes stir at show
PRINCETON, N.J. – A prototype laser spectroscopy platform developed by electrical engineers at Princeton University attracted a lot of attention when it was demonstrated during SPIE Photonics West 2010 in January. The sensor, a new development in wireless sensor...
When Molecules Leave Tire Tracks
MUNICH, Germany, March 18, 2010 – The ability that some molecules have to arrange themselves into patterns on surfaces is crucial for many technological applications. However, it has been virtually impossible to predict or control the result of such self-organization. Now, a group...
Zooming in on plumes to improve mass spectroscopy
BATON ROUGE, La. – By using a high-speed camera to study plumes created by a tunable infrared laser, researchers at Louisiana State University have revealed some of the mechanisms involved in material ablation. The plume study technique could someday result in better...
Enhanced Micro CoMPASS Takes Flight
HAIFA, Israel, March 17, 2010 – Elbit Systems Ltd. has completed a series of test flights of its enhanced Micro CoMPASS electro-optic payload with advanced capabilities as part of the company’s Hermes 90 unmanned aircraft system. The Hermes 90 UAS flight series demonstrated day...
Greenhouse Gas Lit Up with Lasers
HERTFORDSHIRE, England, March 17, 2010 — Elliot Scientific has revealed video footage captured by scientists at the University of St. Andrews using M Squared Lasers’ novel Firefly-IR laser showing greenhouse gas plumes. ...
Large Lenses Enable Fusion Research
OXFORDSHIRE, England, March 17, 2010 — The largest lenses ever produced for a fusion research facility are being used to measure plasma density and temperatures up to 23 million degrees Celsius inside the MegaAmp Spheri...
Real-Time View of Living Cells
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. March 17, 2010 – For the first time scientists have recorded real-time microscopic images showing the deadly effects of naturally occurring proteins, called antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), in live bacteria. Researchers led by Angela Belcher, a professor at...
Imperfect Chips Enhance Quantum Technology
LYNGBY, Denmark, March 16, 2010 – A lot of effort is put into perfecting optical chips, which, among other applications, are used within quantum technology. However, a group at DUT Fotonik is saying that imperfectio...
Lighting the Fabric of Our Lives
EINDHOVEN, Netherlands, March 16, 2010 — Imagine children’s jackets that can light up to see them safely home from school in the dark, curtains that can emit light to mimic natural daylight conditions, or bandages that sh...
Viruses Probed for Quantum Behavior
GARCHING, Germany, March 16, 2010 – Typically, quantum mechanics studies the behavior of energy and matter at the atomic scale, but a German-Spanish research group has begun looking for ways to detect quantum pr...
Golden Bullet Targets Cancer
ST. LOUIS, March 15, 2010 – The mythological silver bullet has just been turned gold. A highly targeted medical treatment, known as the silver bullet, the magic bullet or the Zuberkugel, has become a focu...
LLNL Mirrors Used for Solar Mission
LIVERMORE, Calif., March 15, 2010 — A technology originally developed to make computer chips smaller, faster and more powerful is now being used in space to take images of the sun every 10 seconds with 10 times better resolution that high-definition television.
Molecule Could Advance Displays
DURHAM, N.H., March 15, 2010 — The first stable derivative of nonacene has been synthesized, creating a compound that holds significant promise in the manufacture of flexible organic electronics such as large displays, solar cells and radio-frequency identification tags (RFIDs)....
Light Focused Through Opaques
PARIS, March 11, 2010 — Materials such as paper, paint, and biological tissue are opaque because the light that passes through them is scattered in complicated and seemingly random ways. A new experiment conducted by researchers at the City of Paris Industrial Physics and...
Thermopower Creating Waves
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 10, 2010 – Like a flame speeding along the length of a lit fuse, a powerful wave of energy can be created by using a laser to ignite a reactive-fuel-coated carbon nanotube. It could lead to a...
Tracey Joins Vytran as Sales Engineer
MORGANVILLE, N.J., March 9, 2010 – Fiber fusion splicing, assembly and fiber-based glass processing solutions supplier Vytran LLC has hired Jim Tracey as its sales engineer for North America. With a primary focus on developing the company’s business in the sensing, medical and...
Laser Pulses Changed to RF Signals
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., March 5, 2010 – A tiny device capable of converting ultrafast laser pulses into bursts of radio-frequency signals using innovative "microring resonators." Such an advance could enable all comm...
Light Replacing Wires in Chips
YORKTOWN HEIGHTS, N.Y., March 4, 2010 — IBM scientists yesterday unveiled an ultrafast nanophotonic avalanche photodetector for converting faint optical signals into electrical ones. The device, capable of receiving 40 b...
Graphene Hybrid Created
HOUSTON, Texas, March 3, 2010 – Rice University researchers have found a way to stitch graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) into a two-dimensional quilt that offers new paths of exploration for materials scientists. The technique has implications for application of graphene...
Laser Ablation for Art Restoration
FLORENCE, Italy, March 2, 2010 – Laser ablation has found numerous applications in biomedical and industrial settings. This technique involves removing material from a solid surface by vaporizing the material with...
Quantum Computing Circuit Created
MADISON, Wis., March 2, 2010 – In a move that may help quantum computing become a reality, physicists have created an atomic circuit by exerting delicate control over a pair of atoms within a mere seven-millionths-of-a-second window of opportunity. Quantum computing...
