Father of Arecibo Observatory Dies
ITHACA, N.Y., March 19, 2010 – Bill Gordon, the engineer who conceived, built and managed the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, died of natural causes Feb. 16 in Ithaca, N.Y. He was 92. Gordon was serving on Cornell University’s engineering faculty when, in the late...
Solar Energy Converted to Sugars
CINCINNATI, March 19, 2010 – Thanks to a semitropical frog species, energy from the sun and carbon from the air are being converted to sugars, which in turn can be turned into new forms of biofuels. In nat...
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. ...
