Research & Technology News
Undersea Telescope Detects Neutrinos
Feb 1, 1999 — Collaborators will soon deploy an underwater telescope to detect and study high-energy cosmic neutrinos. Placed on the ocean floor 2.35 km below the surface, the telescope may eventually unlock fundamental secrets of the universe. An artist's drawing portrays the proposed setup of arrays of photomultiplier tubes placed deep below the ocean's surface to detect high-energy neutrinos. Courtesy of Antares. As part of the Antares project -- involving scientists from France, Spain, The...
Universe May Hold Diamond Concentrations
Feb 1, 1999 — Our galaxy may contain high concentrations of tiny diamonds in carbon-rich planetary nebulae. That's the finding of a group of researchers from the Institut d'Astrophysique Spatiale in Paris. The group theorized that the low pressures and...
3-D Enhances Videoconferencing
Jan 1, 1999 — By 2010, the boundaries among communications, computing and broadcasting will be hard to discern. To that end, Panorama -- a cooperative project sponsored by the European Union -- presented three-dimensional telepresence systems in October at the...
Calibrated AFM Offers High Accuracy, Repeatability
Jan 1, 1999 — Atomic force microscopes (AFM) have come a long way since they were developed in the mid-1980s, with advances bringing more repeatability and stability. Engineers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are taking the technology...
China May Be Building a Laser to Target US Satellites
Jan 1, 1999 — The Chinese government may be building a high-power laser with the ability to destroy US military satellites hovering over Asia, according to a recent article in The Los Angeles Times. The newspaper cited a declassified report from the US Department...
Compact Device Measures Electrical Current
Jan 1, 1999 — Harsh environments and confined spaces are no match for an optical fiber-based current sensor that researchers at the Hoya Corp. R&D Center are developing. Electric companies use bulky devices such as gas-insulated circuit breakers to measure...
Diode Laser Simultaneously Emits at Three Wavelengths
Jan 1, 1999 — Federico Capasso and a team of researchers at Bell Labs have demonstrated a semiconductor laser that simultaneously emits at three wavelengths in the IR. Such a laser may find applications in spectroscopic analysis of trace gases in the atmosphere...
Dye Improves Efficiency of Organic LEDs
Jan 1, 1999 — A team of researchers from Princeton University in New Jersey has improved the efficiency of electroluminescent organic light-emitting diodes (LEDs) by introducing a fluorescent dye. Fluorescence emissions occur when electrons become excited,...
Electrode Improves CCD Sensitivity
Jan 1, 1999 — Eastman Kodak Co. has developed a technology that increases the sensitivity of its charge-coupled device (CCD) image sensors in the blue and green regions of the spectrum. By incorporating a transparent electrode into its existing technology, the...
Flat Photomultiplier Tube Peeks out of the Lab
Jan 1, 1999 — Hamamatsu K.K. in Japan recently unveiled a showstopper commercial product for the new millennium: a flat panel photomultiplier tube. The revelation was one of several "Future R&D Plans" announced during the company's Photon Fair, a three-day...
Imaging Spectrometer Improves Auroral Understanding
Jan 1, 1999 — Researchers at the University of Illinois are taking a fresh look at auroras. They have developed an imaging spectrometer that allows them to study auroral emissions as a function of altitude, offering them more clues about the effects of the solar...
Optical System Speeds Automatic Target Recognition
Jan 1, 1999 — Hoping to overcome the limitations previously associated with automated target recognition, Litton Data Systems has developed a miniature optical correlator that could boost the processing speed of these systems tenfold. Although the project has...
Researchers Alter Rare-Earth Metals
Jan 1, 1999 — Researchers from Vrije University have created an optical method of monitoring the hydrogen navigation that makes an yttrium film switch from reflective to transparent. The method should simplify work for other researchers seeking materials for...
Researchers Introduce Fluorescent Chemical Weapons Detector
Jan 1, 1999 — Chemists at the University of Maryland in College Park have developed a method for detecting lethal chemical weapons in a system that uses molecules that fluoresce in the presence of a small amount of phosphate esters. Many current detectors are...
Researchers Report Findings on Trapping and Cooling Molecules
Jan 1, 1999 — Researchers have long been interested in the ability to trap and cool molecules to facilitate improvements in ultracold molecular physics and in molecular spectroscopy. Scientists use methods such as laser cooling and cryogenic surface...
Sensors Detect Biological Weapons
Jan 1, 1999 — Scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory have developed a lightweight, fully automatic biological weapons detection system that one day may find its way to the battlefield. The system, which researchers have tested mounted in an airplane, uses...
System Measures Efficiency of Solar Cells
Jan 1, 1999 — Physicists at the Netherlands Energy Research Foundation have developed a technique to measure imperfections in solar cells. That information points the way to more efficient and cost-effective solar cells. As light strikes a solar cell, it produces...
University Unveils Sensitive Microscope for Chip Inspection
Jan 1, 1999 — A technician at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, UK, has built a microscope powerful enough to monitor the inner workings of semiconductor chips. Lynn Edwards, in collaboration with Gerald S. Buller, a researcher at the university,...
UV Lasers Stop People in Their Tracks
Jan 1, 1999 — Mork from Ork could freeze people in midaction with a simple point of his alien finger -- diminishing them to dancing, talking, running statues. Now researchers at HSV Technologies Inc. have come up with a device that could put this power into the...
WDM Enables High-Capacity System
Jan 1, 1999 — Alcatel Optronics has demonstrated the simultaneous transmission of more than 15 million voice circuits on a four-fiber- pair system that uses wavelength division multiplexing. It expects the advance will provide a fourfold increase in the capacity...
Zeiss to Build Ring Laser Gyroscope
Jan 1, 1999 — The Federal Cartography and Geodesy Office in Frankfurt, Germany, has commissioned Carl Zeiss Inc. in Oberkochen to design and manufacture a laser gyroscope that will measure the Earth's rotation. Engineers will install the gyroscope in three years...
40-Gb/s Soliton Transmission Achieved in Field Experiment
Dec 1, 1998 — Scientists led by Chalmers University of Technology professor Peter Andrekson have achieved a 40-Gb/s soliton pulse transmission over a 400-km distance on commercial dispersion-shifted fiber optic cable. The researchers describe their success as the...
CO2 Laser Optically Pumps Semiconductor Laser Prototype
Dec 1, 1998 — The CO2 laser, commonly recognized as an industrial workhorse, is not high on the list of potential optical pumping devices, at least not for quantum-well unipolar lasers. But optical pumping a new semiconductor laser is exactly the function of a...
Detector Helps Crash Investigation
Dec 1, 1998 — Following the Sept. 2 crash of Swissair Flight 111 just off Nova Scotia, Canadian aviation investigators immediately turned to sonar imaging systems to highlight areas that might contain crash debris. The sonar images indicated large areas of dense...
Diamond Cools Diode Lasers
Dec 1, 1998 — As the saying goes, diamonds are a laser's best friend -- or something like that. Diamond is a material known to spread heat effectively, with low electrical conductivity. The importance of this precious material is growing further because...
