Stanford Nears All-Optical Artificial Neural Network
STANFORD, Calif., July 19, 2018 — Researchers have shown that it is possible to train artificial neural networks directly on an optical chip. The research demonstrates that an optical circuit can perform a critical function of an electronics-based artificial neural network, and that...
Design Rules for Building Efficient Organic Solar Cells
LINKÖPING, Sweden, July 19, 2018 — Twenty-five researchers from seven research institutes in Europe, the U.S., and China have collaborated to draw up rules for designing high-efficiency organic solar cells. The design rules, which challenge some previously held ideas, have been...
Selective Light Transmission Could Advance Optical Computing
CHAPEL HILL, N.C., July 19, 2018 — A new way to select and send light of a specific color over long distances has been applied to development of a nanoscale “light switch” for turning on and turning off the transmission of one color of light. The technique, which uses...
Single-Photon Source Could Help Secure Quantum Data
SHEFFIELD, England, July 18, 2018 — Researchers have found a way to generate very rapid single-photon light pulses, a discovery that could be used to secure quantum data transfer. Single-photon pulses offer data security, because any attempt to intercept the data can be detected...
Device Offers Quantum-Compatible Link Between Microwave, Optical Domains
BOULDER, Colo., July 18, 2018 — A device that uses a small plate to absorb microwave energy and bounce it into laser light could provide a solution for sending quantum signals over long distances. Scientists at JILA, a joint institute of the University of Colorado Boulder and the...
Superman’s Heat Vision Inspires Ocular Lasers
Jul 17, 2018 — In the classic comic-book narrative, one of Superman’s many powers was “heat vision,” an ability to store solar energy in his eyes and emit it in fiery optic blasts, which were graphically depicted as lasers. As with so much of yesteryear’s science...
Nanoscope’s 3D Superresolution Reveals Alzheimer’s Source
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., July 17, 2018 — A superresolution nanoscope could enable 3D imaging of amyloid plaques — a characteristic feature of Alzheimer’s disease — with up to 10 times greater detail than conventional microscopes. Researchers at Purdue University combined active shaping of...
Liquid-Based White LEDs Achieve High Luminous Efficiency
ISTANBUL, July 16, 2018 — Quantum dot (QD) white LEDs that show a luminous efficiency of 105 lm/W have been developed. The QDs are liquid-based and, according to researchers, could help the LEDs achieve an efficiency double that of LEDs that incorporate quantum dots in solid...
