Laser Downs Unmanned Craft
DÜSSELDORF, Germany, Nov. 29, 2011 — Rheinmetall AG has demonstrated the operational potential of combining a powerful laser weapon with an advanced air defense system. It recently used a high-energy laser weapon to down an unmanned aircraft at a proving ground in Switzerland. At a live fire laser demonstration, international guests viewed two laser weapon demonstrators in action, each featuring different performance parameters. For example, a 10-kW laser was integrated into an air defense system consisting of an Oerlikon S...

New Lighting Approach Is a Gas
WASHINGTON, Nov. 28, 2011 — Just as in a fluorescent light, a microcavity array (MCA) is energized by an applied voltage. By successfully confining plasma (an ionized gas) in parallel rows of microcavities within thin sheet materials, various implementations of microplasma...
Blocked Holes Enhance Light Transmission
PRINCETON, N.J., Nov. 28, 2011 — Placing a metal cap over a small hole in a metal film does not stop light from passing through the hole, but rather enhances its transmission — quite contrary to the conventional thought that blocking a hole would allow less light to pass...
Doped Nanocrystals Developed for Bioimaging
SINGAPORE, Nov. 23, 2011 — A synthesis of lanthanide-doped core-shell nanocrystals has resulted in advanced light-control properties for bioimaging applications including cancer diagnostics, medical imaging and therapeutic delivery. A research team from the National...
Carbon Nanotube Forest Camouflages 3-D Objects
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Nov. 23, 2011 — One of the unique properties of carbon nanotubes — the low refractive index of low-density aligned nanotubes — also has a unique application: making 3-D objects appear as nothing more than a flat, black sheet. Researchers from the...
Laser Ablation Could Benefit Precancerous Skin Lesions
CHICAGO, Nov. 23, 2011 — Carbon dioxide laser ablation could be used to treat a common precancerous skin lesion, lentigo maligna (LM), when surgery or radiation therapy is not feasible. “Carbon dioxide laser ablation may be advantageous because it treats large...
Jenoptik Sales and Earnings Up; Forecast Raised
JENA, Germany, Nov. 23, 2011 — The Jenoptik Group predicts that its earnings before interest and taxes for 2011 will be €44 million (about $58.8 million), more than a 50 percent increase over 2010 results. The prediction stems from a 10.9 percent increase in sales with...
