Optofluidic Smart Glass Heats and Cools Efficiently, Inexpensively
NEWARK, Del., Dec. 20, 2017 — We may not be able to control the weather, but new switchable window technology using optofluidic smart glass could someday be used to keep our vehicles, businesses and homes comfortable regardless of the temperature outside. This smart window technology contains a plastic panel with a retroreflective pattern of structures. Rather than reflecting light in all directions like a mirror, the retroflective panel reflects light back in the direction it came from. For example, if this smart window
Next-Gen Image Sensor Delivers High-Quality, Low-Light Imaging
HANOVER, N.H., Dec. 19, 2017 — ; A new imaging technology has been developed that can capture and count single photons with resolution as high as one megapixel and as fast as thousands of frames per second. Called the Quanta Image Sensor, or QIS, this technology enables highly...

MOSCOW, Dec. 8, 2017 — Researchers have demonstrated an optical paradox — they have made a completely transparent material appear perfectly absorbing. The results of their research contradict the idea that materials that look transparent, such as glass, appear that...
Microscope Uses UV Light to Provide High-Res Images in Minutes, Without Damaging Tissue
SACRAMENTO, Calif., Dec. 6, 2017 — A fluorescence-based, slide-free optical imaging system, known as microscopy with UV surface excitation (MUSE), uses UV light at wavelengths below the 300 nanometer (nm) range to penetrate the surface of tissue samples by only a few microns —...
Visible Light Controls Chemical Reaction Pathways, Could Be Industrial UV Alternative
BRISBANE, Australia, Dec. 4, 2017 — A technique has been developed that modulates visible colored light to enable it to control the reactions of chemical coupling agents. The modulation of the reactivity by light is reversible, and the individually addressable reaction pathways can be...
High-Intensity Photon Beams May Work in Large-Scale Laser Facilities
GOTHENBURG, Sweden, Dec. 1, 2017 — A scientific team has identified the numerical models and analytic estimates for simulating ultra-strong gamma rays in a highly efficient way. According to the team, these high intensity gamma rays significantly exceed all known limits. While there...
Prism Awards Honor Industry’s Top Innovators
Nov 27, 2017 — What do the world’s smallest FTIR spectrometer, a lidar system for autonomous vehicles, and a smartphone add-on sensor for noncontact bioimaging have in common? The 2018 Prism Awards for Photonics Innovation. These products are among 30...
Optical Whispering Gallery Mode Resonator Spins Light
STATE COLLEGE, Pa., Nov. 22, 2017 — An optical whispering gallery mode resonator developed by Penn State electrical engineers can spin light around the circumference of a tiny sphere millions of times, creating an ultrasensitive microchip-based sensor for multiple applications....
Doping Quantum Dots Helps Lasers Release Light More Efficiently
LOS ALAMOS, N.M., Nov. 17, 2017 — Doping quantum dots (QDs) with additional electrons has been found to cause the specially designed QDs to produce laser light with less stimulation and less energy loss. By adding extra charge carriers to their QDs, researchers from Los Alamos...
Ultrafast Pulses Coherently Control Function in a Living Cell
CHAMPAIGN, Ill., Nov. 17, 2017 — Researchers have used light to excite a light-sensitive channel in the membrane of optogenetic mouse neurons. When the channels were excited, they allowed ions through, which caused the neurons to fire. The researchers say the same technique could...
Bioinspired Approach Could Enhance Solar Cell Light Absorption
KARLSRUHE, Germany, Nov. 16, 2017 — By observing the nanostructures that optimize light absorption on a black butterfly’s wing, researchers were guided to a way to improve light harvesting in thin-film solar cells, potentially increasing light absorption rate in cells by as much...
LED-Based UV Light Can Rapidly Convert 3D Printing Polymeric Inks Into Solids
NOTTINGHAM, England, Nov. 14, 2017 — A breakthrough in rapid additive manufacturing that involves UV light solidifying the inks used could pave the way for fully functional 3D printed electronic circuits. Researchers at the University of Nottingham have pioneered the breakthrough and...
Visible LEDs Enable Sensor Response Activation at Room Temperature
MOSCOW, Nov. 13, 2017 — Scientists have discovered a mechanism that allows hydrogen sensors to work under visible light, without heating, therefore enabling the sensor to work at room temperature. The discovery, based on nanocrystalline metal oxides, could reduce the...
