Research & Technology News
Robotic 3-D Imager to Brave Chernobyl
Aug 1, 1998 — Deep inside the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in northeastern Ukraine, the site of the worst nuclear meltdown in history, is a room filled with radioactive slag that has kept man and machine at bay for more than a decade. Now a team of researchers, led by Maynard Holliday of Lawrence Liver-more National Laboratory, has constructed a robot it hopes to send into the abandoned reactor. Onboard will be the latest in a digital three-dimensional imaging system that will assist the team as the robot...
Sensor Relies on 'Time-of-Flight' Spectroscopy
Aug 1, 1998 — Gary Hieftje and Radislav Potyrailo of Indiana University in Bloomington have designed a "distributed" sensor that uses optical time-of-flight spectroscopy. The scientists operate the sensor by sending a very short pulse of light down the length of...
Tunable Spectrometer Examines Microsamples
Aug 1, 1998 — As a geologist, George Rossman often examined crystals to determine their purity. Commercially available spectrometers were able to characterize the absorption spectra of large samples, but for samples measuring between 5 and 12 µm, no device...
Window Design Creates Controllable One-Way Viewing
Aug 1, 1998 — For the past 2000 years of Orthodox Judaism, men and women have worshipped separately, divided either by a solid partition or by using a balcony. Now a professor at Washington University has invented a partition that will allow one-way viewing...
Devices Detect Explosive Residue
Jul 1, 1998 — To evolve low-cost, portable land mine detection technology, researchers at Duke University have developed microelectromechanical devices that could become a two-part detection system for explosives. The first device uses ultrasound to loosen the...
Engineers Unveil Tabletop X-Ray Laser
Jul 1, 1998 — Researchers at the University of Michigan's Center for Ultrafast Optical Sciences in Ann Arbor have built a tabletop laser that generates a coherent x-ray beam. The scientists shot a rapidly pulsing laser through a hollow glass tube filled with gas....
Fiber Optic Sensor Monitors Wear on Canadian Bridge
Jul 1, 1998 — Engineers from the University of Toronto's Institute for Aerospace Studies and department of civil engineering, along with technicians from Ontario, Canada's Ministry of Transportation, have installed experimental long-gauge fiber optic sensors on a...
Fluorescence Finds Photomask Defects
Jul 1, 1998 — Using a fluorescent dye and an argon-ion laser, researchers at the University of Delaware can detect nanometer-size scratches in the polished surface of a photomask much more quickly than with atomic force microscopy. Researchers use a...
Giant Telescope to Map Vast Expanse of Sky
Jul 1, 1998 — Astronomers have been able -- even with the greatest of telescopes -- to see only a small portion of the sky at a time. Professor Jim Gunn, a Princeton University astronomer, hopes to overcome this obstacle by building a telescope that images the...
Lasers Create Nanoscale Islands
Jul 1, 1998 — The creation of nanodots, or small islands of a few atoms, offers significant interest to semiconductor laser manufacturers. Compared with quantum well designs, the smaller structures provide electron carrier confinement with increased output...
LEDs Put Railroad Lighting on More Efficient Track
Jul 1, 1998 — Using light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to replace colored tungsten filament bulbs for their signals could help railway companies cut costs and reduce risks for maintenance crews. LED signals developed by Costas Tsakonas (left) and George Bearfield...
Lucent Makes Gains in Network Technologies
Jul 1, 1998 — Lucent Technologies has unveiled two types of optical fiber: one that promises increased bandwidth for local networks and another that features low dispersion for long-distance systems. For metropolitan networks, the company developed AllWave, which...
NASA Scientists Report Insights into Rainfall
Jul 1, 1998 — Thanks to recently released images taken from a NASA/ Japan Space Agency spacecraft's lightning image sensor, scientists are gaining new insights into rainfall-producing cloud systems over the tropics. Sensors aboard a NASA satellite captured...
People Finder Flounders Under Testing
Jul 1, 1998 — Finding the survivors among the wreckage of a bombing or plane crash is difficult at best, so when the US government learned about a new device from DielectroKinetic Laboratories LLC of Washington, they were eager to put it to the test. What they...
Physicists Propose Novel Method to Catch Neutrinos
Jul 1, 1998 — For years, scientists have sought the elusive, weightless particles known as neutrinos. Neutrinos, which behave somewhat like photons (they can travel without changing direction through matter), are weakly interacting particles and so can travel...
Plastic Fiber Technique Improves Cost
Jul 1, 1998 — A Florida company has developed and patented a method for the continuous production of graded-index plastic optical fiber. James K. Walker, CEO of Nanoptics Inc. in Gainesville, Fla., presented an overview of the method at the Plastic Optical Fiber...
Researchers Make Gains in Understanding Human Thought
Jul 1, 1998 — Researchers at Stanford University have taken an important step in understanding the chemistry behind the way cells in the brain communicate with one another. Chemists used a laser to trap microscopic membranes in the brain of a sea slug. These...
Researchers Shrink Confocal Laser Microscope
Jul 1, 1998 — Scanning confocal laser microscopes are bulky and stay in one place. But a start-up company aims to find its success by miniaturizing these devices while still providing three-dimensional optical sectioning and high contrast. The battery-operated...
Solitons Work in Real Network
Jul 1, 1998 — The increasing demand for bandwidth in optical links has found an answer in nonlinear propagation, which recently was put into play by Pirelli Cables and Systems and MCI Telecommunications Corp. This method increased the system's capacity,...
TRW's UV Laser to Advance Photolithography
Jul 1, 1998 — TRW's Space and Technology Div. in Redondo Beach, Calif., has taken another step closer in the development of a light source for lithography for the semiconductor industry. TRW selected SDL Inc. in San Jose, Calif., as the initial supplier of...
Astronauts Go for a Spin
Jun 1, 1998 — Astronauts aboard the space shuttle Columbia had their heads spinning, literally. As part of a series of space-based neurological experiments, they took turns in a spinning chair while IR video cameras tracked their eye movements. NASA researchers...
Coating Method Makes Molecule-Thick Layers
Jun 1, 1998 — A method for dip coating a substrate with organic polymers may increase the efficiency of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and computer displays while reducing costs and environmental hazards. The technique, being explored by a group of MIT researchers,...
Diode Pumps New Self-Frequency-Doubled Laser
Jun 1, 1998 — In an intensive three-week push, researchers from the Center for Research and Education in Optics and Lasers at the University of Central Florida in Orlando cranked up the power of their diode-pumped, self-frequency- doubled Nd:YCOB laser. Using a...
Facial Recognition System Verifies Driver's Identity
Jun 1, 1998 — A computerized facial recognition system, employing advanced algorithms coupled with off-the-shelf imaging equipment, has given this state's motor vehicles division an advantage in determining a license applicant's identity. Not long ago, there were...
Fibers in Spark Plug Monitor Ignition
Jun 1, 1998 — University of Texas researchers and the Ford Motor Co. are collaborating on a spark plug that employs fiber to monitor pre-ignition fuel concentration. The goal, said developer Mathew Hall, is reduced engine pollutants and improved performance by...
