A Worm of a Different Color
BUFFALO, N.Y. , June 17, 2008 -- A mutant worm changes color when it moves as the result of an optical sensor called stFRET. The sensor is composed of a pair of fluorescent molecules connected by a molecular spring that is inserted into structural proteins in the worm's cells. When the worm is prodded, stretching the structural proteins in muscle fibers, the linking spring is stretched, and the worm fluoresces in a different color. The color change is observable with a confocal microscope. The fluorescence indicates the...
Conjuring Robert Koch
THORNWOOD, NY, June 10, 2008 – Today, one in three persons is infected with the tuberculosis pathogen, and the World Heath Organization (WHO) estimates that there will be 30 million deaths caused by tuberculosis in the next year, due to the development of multi-resistant strains...
Sizing Up Graphene
BERKELEY, Calif., June 9, 2008 -- The extraordinary properties of graphene have reportedly been measured with an accuracy never before achieved, confirming many of its strangest features but revealing significant departures from theoretical predictions. Results of research at the...

LONDON, June 3, 2008 -- The cellular aspects of infection, including cell invasion and host-pathogen interactions, will be the topic of a one-day meeting to be co-sponsored by the Royal Microscopical Society (RMS) and the Society for General Microbiology (SGM) during...
Metamaterials Pioneer to Receive IEEE Award
Jun 2, 2008 — George V. Eleftheriades, PhD, will receive the 2008 Kiyo Tomiyasu Award for his research into negative refractive index metamaterials, IEEE announced today. Metamaterials have had a profound impact on a variety of technologies including high-speed...
Camera Lens Wavefronts Analysed Swiftly in High-Volume Production
Jun 1, 2008 — The introduction of digital cameras into mobile phones has led industry to produce increasingly larger quantities of lenses for camera objectives. Facilitated by a recently introduced technology for mass fabrication of micro-optical elements in...
Etching with Gold Enables Improved Deep-UV Antireflective Optics
Jun 1, 2008 — The ability to diffuse or eliminate reflections is an important part of optics involving ultraviolet and deep-UV wavelengths. Antireflection coatings, which form interfering structures of low and high refractive indices, are ubiquitous. However,...
For a Real Close-up, a Little Light
Jun 1, 2008 — Researchers from the University of Texas at Austin have shed new light on near-field scanning optical microscopy. Incorporating a nanometer-scale LED in the probe tip of an atomic force microscope, they acquired optical and topographic images of a...
From Infinitesimal Seeds, a Mighty (If Tiny) Forest Grows
Jun 1, 2008 — Using chemical vapor deposition, researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have made nanometer-scale lead sulfide wires that sprouted into treelike constructs that could develop into forests of improved photodetectors and highly efficient...
Image-Processing Methods Reconstruct Archival Audio Recordings
Jun 1, 2008 — Point-and-click mp3 files make it hard to appreciate the first attempts to capture sound on glass, wax, tinfoil or even paper. Many of those records, albeit fragile and often noisy, survive. Carl Haber and his colleagues at Lawrence Berkeley...
Laser Sorts Moving Droplets in Lab on a Chip
Jun 1, 2008 — A paper by three physicists from Université Bordeaux I in France describes a new and highly effective method of sorting and routing nanolitre droplets flowing through microchannels. The technique will be useful in chemical microreactors and...
Nanowires Used to Push Solar Efficiency
Jun 1, 2008 — Solar cell design is critical to how efficiently incoming sunlight is transformed into usable electrical energy. Even slight modifications in architecture or material can have meaningful effects. Numerous polymers have been examined for use in...
Olympus Opens Life Sciences Centre
MUNICH -- Olympus Life Science Research Europa GmbH has opened a global Research and Development Centre for Life Sciences. The €15 million facility will focus on furthering in vitro diagnostics, laboratory automation, molecular biology, digital image...

Optical Interferometry Measures the Deflection of Carbon-Based Nanosensors
Jun 1, 2008 — The reduction in size of modern electromechanical systems — from micro (MEMS) to nano (NEMS) — brings with it decreasing dimensions to be tested and characterized. Thus, the sensitivity requirements of the testing device and methodology are...
PicoQuant Establishes Entity in North America
Jun 1, 2008 — In Berlin, PicoQuant GmbH, a provider of diode lasers and time-resolved fluorescence systems, has announced the opening of Photonics North America Inc. in Westfield, Mass. The American branch will provide technical and sales support for PicoQuant’s...
Quantum Dots Created from Carbon Nanotubes
Jun 1, 2008 — Carbon nanotubes are proving useful for sensing applications because they produce a strong Raman signal and make a detectable sound when hit with a laser. Nanotubes fluoresce as well, but not brightly. However, researchers have discovered that...
Simultaneous Ultrafast Framing and Streak Imaging
Jun 1, 2008 — The ability to record framing and streak images simultaneously has long been a requirement in the research fields of electrical discharge, biomedical research and other applications. Early systems incorporating framing and streak cameras were large...
Socks with Nanosilver Could Present Problems
Jun 1, 2008 — The saying “It all comes out in the wash” could take on a whole new meaning as nanoparticles become more common in consumer goods. Using scanning and transmission electron microscopy, Troy M. Benn and Paul K. Westerhoff of Arizona State University...
Through a Lens, Wetly
Jun 1, 2008 — If you want a variable lens in the future, you may have to get wet. That is the hope of several researchers and companies that are working on liquid lenses, devices that use water or another liquid as an optical element. These systems employ a...
Witec Is Building New Headquarters
ULM, Germany -- Optical and scanning probe microscope manufacturer Witec GmbH is building new headquarters, which will include research, production and office facilities. The building will more than double the space available to the company and is expected to be...
