Science billboards “enlighten” motorists
Jan 1, 2013 — The effects of physics are visible throughout the world around us, but this autumn a set of billboards took that visibility to a whole new level, offering West London motorists and pedestrians a little roadside enlightenment in the form of Schrödinger’s equation. The vital but little-known physics equation – a description of the ways in which light and matter behave when they interact at the smallest scale – was devised in 1926 by Austrian theoretical physicist Erwin...
Smartphones Move from Social Media to Social Medicine
Jan 1, 2013 — Cellphones have evolved from a luxury to a necessity in the past 20 years, and now smartphones are making those same inroads (as of September 2012, 45 percent of American adults owned a smartphone, according to research by the Pew Internet Project)....
Synthetic magnetic field directs photons
STANFORD, Calif. – A photonic crystal device that tames the flow of free-moving photons with synthetic magnetism could enable scientists to precisely steer light in any direction. The process breaks a key law of physics known as the time-reversal symmetry of light....
Microactuator Flexes Under Laser Light
BERKELEY, Calif., Dec. 17, 2012 — A microscale actuator that flexes like a tiny beckoning finger under a burst of laser light may point toward practical applications in artificial muscles, microfluidics and drug delivery.
Oxford Instruments Acquires Asylum Research for Up to $80M
ABINGDON, England, and SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Dec. 17, 2012 — UK scientific instrumentation provider Oxford Instruments plc plans to expand its presence in the nanotechnology with the acquisition of California-based microscopy maker Asylum Research Corp. The deal, worth as much as $80 million, was announced...
Standardized Testing for Skin Damage
TAIPEI CITY, Taiwan, Dec. 17, 2012 — Beauty is only skin deep, and now scientists can use a laser microscopy technique to gauge a person’s true age from his/her most shallow layer — the skin. The method could provide a standardized way to measure the extent of skin damage and the...
W.M. Keck Foundation Grants $1M for Biomedical Research
PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 14, 2012 — Oregon Health & Science University’s Knight Cancer Institute has secured a $1 million grant to develop microscopy technology to advance biomedical research.
Photonics West Boasts Largest Program Yet
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 13, 2012 — SPIE Photonics West will set records again this year, thanks to its largest-ever biomedical technical program and BiOS Expo, which are driving growth for the 2013 event, SPIE said.
Laser Optics Enable View Inside a Fly’s Eye
VIENNA, Dec. 12, 2012 — New laser optics technology that supports high-resolution 3-D microscopy is providing a view into the interior of flies, mice and even medical tissue samples.
A Black Hole for Light
PRINCETON, N.J., Dec. 10, 2012 — A nanostructured “sandwich” of semiconductor material that collects and traps light has nearly tripled the efficiency of organic solar cells.
Pointing Light Toward Faster Optical Communications
PASADENA, Calif., Dec. 10, 2012 — A device that focuses light into a point just a few nanometer across could lead to more efficient optical devices and higher-resolution imaging systems.
Microscopy Tool Adds ‘Color’ with Nanoscale Resolution
BERKELEY, Calif., Dec. 7, 2012 — Nanoscale objects can now be examined in full color, thanks to a new microscopy tip that delivers chemical details with a resolution once thought impossible. The nanotool could help scientists probe solar-to-electric energy conversion at its most...
Semrock Ships Millionth Filter
ROCHESTER, N.Y., Dec. 6, 2012 — Semrock Inc., a unit of Idex Corp., recently shipped its millionth hard-coated optical filter, the company announced Wednesday.
Nanobubbles Destroy Some Cells, Treat Others
HOUSTON, Dec. 4, 2012 — A single laser blast can activate plasmonic nanobubbles that selectively kill diseased cells while at the same time treating others, and leaving neighboring healthy cells untouched.
Electrons in QDs seen absorbing, emitting light
DRESDEN, Germany – The special energy states of electrons confined in quantum dots have been observed for the first time, a feat that could help exploit the unique properties of the nanoscale semiconductor materials for technological applications. Because they are...

Photocurrent of single molecule measured
MUNICH – Single small molecules can be used as functional components in optoelectronic circuits, but until now, controlling and probing such molecules for photovoltaic and photoelectrochemical applications have proved difficult. Scientists at the Technical...
Prism Awards Finalists Offer Solutions to Big Problems
Dec 1, 2012 — Finalists from Europe include tools for pollution monitoring, manufacturing, brain imaging and more. Sensors for monitoring environmental toxins and detecting explosives, powerful new lasers for biophotonics, and tools for lithography and...
Semiconductor etching monitored in real time
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – A nondestructive optical technique that simultaneously etches features onto a semiconductor wafer’s surface while monitoring the entire process in real time with nanometer precision could change the future of semiconductor etching....
18 Firms to Vie for $94M at Invest in Photonics
BORDEAUX, France, Nov. 30, 2012 — Eighteen emerging technology companies from around Europe have been selected to participate in a special funding session at the two-day international business partnering convention Invest in Photonics next month in Bordeaux, a growing industrial...
Material Absorbs Nearly 100% of IR Light
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 27, 2012 — An ultrathin, tunable device developed at Harvard absorbs 99.75% of infrared light on demand and, when activated, looks like a black blob to IR cameras. The near-perfect absorber could expand the possibilities for energy harvesting and thermal...
CoolLED, Tek5 Systems Launch CoolLED USA
YORKTOWN HEIGHTS, N.Y., Nov. 22, 2012 — UK-based light-source manufacturer CoolLED Ltd. has teamed up with Tek5 Systems LLC to support research and OEM users of CoolLED products in the US and Canada.
WITec Adds Sales Rep in Canada
ULM, Germany, and MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, Canada, Nov. 21, 2012 — To strengthen its presence in Canada, WITec GmbH has named Spectra Research Corp. as its new sales representative.
A 3-D Light Switch for the Brain
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 19, 2012 — A new tool that delivers precise points of light to living brain tissue in three dimensions could one day help treat Parkinson’s disease and epilepsy; it could even aid in the understanding of consciousness and how memories form.
Photonics Prism Awards Finalists Offer Solutions for Pollution, Manufacturing, Brain Imaging, More
PITTSFIELD, Mass., and BELLINGHAM, Wash., Nov. 16, 2012 — Sensors for monitoring environmental toxins and detecting explosives, powerful new lasers for manufacturing, and tools for non-invasive imaging deep inside the brain are among finalists in nine categories for the 2013 Prism Awards for Photonics...
