Research & Technology News
Holograms Hold 500 GB on Disc
NISKAYUNA, N.Y., April 29, 2009 – Microholographic technology was used to produce a standard-size DVD with a 500-GB storage capacity, the equivalent of 100 DVDs, GE Global Research announced.
Scrambled Light Hones Images
PRINCETON, N.J., April 22, 2009 – A new imaging system can unscramble the rich visual information provided by nonlinear optical materials to produce sharper images with a wider field of view. This method makes it possible to create high-resolution images at any chosen point – at the...
Laser Polarization Controlled
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 13, 2009 -- Lasers with controlled polarization were demonstrated for the first time through the integration of the polarizer on the laser facet, an innovation that could open new applications in photonics and communications. Harvard Univerity and Hamamatsu...
Curving ‘Light Bullets’
TUCSON, Ariz., April 9, 2009 – Wave patterns called Airy beams, combined with "light bullets" -- short, intense laser pulses so fast the beam is broader than it is wide -- created curving "needle" bullets that might help monitor air pollution, said physicists at the University of...
All the world’s a screen
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Put away those phones, and forget the laptop. You won’t need them in the future if an MIT project succeeds. Using a camera, a projector and a mobile computing device, researchers there have turned the whole world into a screen – and fingers waving...
Blurry Future for Russian Laser Optics Market
Apr 1, 2009 — The vast landscape of the Russian Federation is home to more than 800 laser-related organizations and companies spread over 85 cities in 57 regions. Along with other functions they perform, these laser entities train specialists, service laser...
Food safety just got smarter
KINGSTON, R.I. – The hot-button issue of food contamination, it seems, is never far from the headlines, but until now, avoiding it has depended to a great extent upon the decidedly low-tech expiration date. However, thanks to technology developed by Brett Lucht and...
Glass Structuring Agreement
Apr 1, 2009 — MSG Lithoglas AG of Berlin has signed an agreement with Schott AG of Mainz, Germany, for exclusive use of the latter’s process and application intellectual property on the additive structuring of glass. This technology enables the deposition of thin...
Imaging elusive winter sprites
RAMAT AVIV, Israel – “Sprites,” or upper-atmospheric lightning that occurs high above thunderstorm clouds, are a natural phenomenon that have caught the attention of Colin Price, professor and head of the geophysics and planetary sciences department at Tel Aviv...
Practice mirror goes 3-D
Leeds, UK – For a musician, the traditional optical device is the mirror. A violinist stands in front of one while practicing to visualize whether his bow is parallel to the bridge and his instrument positioned optimally in relation to his body. Dr. Kia Ng,...
Quantum communication, without – and with – delay
GAITHERSBURG, Md. – When it comes to computing, some of the lessons we learned in kindergarten really do apply. Algorithms have to take turns. Otherwise, final calculations could be wrong. Such data flow control is done routinely in standard computers. Now the...
Tinier quantum dots
EDMONTON, Alberta, Canada – Quantum dots are fascinating – thousands of atoms, acting together as one, bring us closer and closer to true quantum computing. As amazing as they are, though, they still have their problems, including the need for ultralow operating...
Silicon Emits Visible Light
SYDNEY, Australia, March 27, 2009 – Physicists at the University of Sydney discovered that silicon photonic crystals, which slow laser light, can convert IR wavelengths to green light.
$1.2B Allocated to Science
UPTON, N.Y., March 24, 2009 – $1.2 billion in new science funding, allocated under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, was announced by Department of Energy Secretary Steven Chu. The amount includes support for research in particle and plasma physics, solar energy,...
'Rogue' Light Waves Tamed
LOS ANGELES, March 6, 2009 – Rare and explosive flare-ups known as "rogue" light waves have been tamed to produce brighter, more stable white light sources.
An underground fiber optic fence
HAIFA, Israel – Tunneling to circumvent borders could be a thing of the past, thanks to a fiber optic-based technique developed here. Researchers Dr. Assaf Klar and Dr. Raphael Linker of Technion, the Israel Institute of Technology, have devised a system that...
Careful with that eradication
Mar 1, 2009 — This is what can happen when you mess with Mother Nature. In 1985, Australian scientists developed a program to kill off non-native cats on the island of Macquarie, a United Nations World Heritage site, because the felines were preying on native...
Controlling a computer with a gesture
SYDNEY, Australia – A very simple principle is at the heart of Dr. Manolya Kavakli’s high-tech computer interfacing technologies: Less is more. Kavakli, founder of the Virtual and Interactive Simulations of Reality Research Group at Macquarie University, did not...
Industrial lasers shine at Photonics West
SAN JOSE, Calif. – According to Tesko Laser, a company in the Chicagoland area that provides laser cutting and metal fabricating services, industrial lasers can slice through the hardest materials and make the most precise cuts with the narrowest heat-affected zones...
Looking to attract venture capital?
Mar 1, 2009 — If you want venture capital this year, it would be wise to consider going into clean technology. “The area that is growing most is clean technology, which includes alternative energies like solar, wind, biofuels; conservation companies; even...
New Solutions for working with Solutions
Mar 1, 2009 — When creating a new technology – or tweaking an old one – you always end up starting from the bottom and working your way up. No, not your position in the company, the basic nature of the materials with which you are working. It doesn’t matter...
Next-Gen researcher
TOLEDO, Ohio – The life of the stereotypical 14-year-old girl revolves around friends, fashion and boys. However, Zainab Al-Firdaus is anything but typical. A sophomore at Perrysburg High School in Ohio, she is a co-author of a published scientific paper. ...
Night-vision goggles no longer just for military
TEMPE, Ariz. – Pilots flying aircraft at night and during low-light conditions know how difficult it can be to perform flight operations when visibility is limited. Not seeing clearly can seriously affect what could already be a dangerous task. Medical responders...
Product reviews in the palm of your hand
TOKYO – With so many options to choose from, how do you pick the best digital camera? You could close your eyes and point, ask your friends for recommendations, or stand there in the store while the salesperson drones on and on. But how can you be sure your...
Protecting aircraft with photonics technology
SANTA MONICA, Calif. – Shoulder-fired missiles, or man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS), have been used by terrorists, criminals and other nonstate actors to take down civilian aircraft. In 2003, the US Department of State estimated that, since the 1970s, more...
