Low-Cost Synthetic Material Produces White Light That Imitates Sunlight
TURKU, Finland, June 13, 2017 — Persistent luminescence materials are used in everyday glow-in-the-dark applications and show high potential for medical imaging, night-vision surveillance, and enhancement of solar cells. The materials that make these applications possible contain rare earths and heavy metals that are expensive. Researchers at the University of Turku in Finland have developed a low-cost synthetic material that emits luminescence closer to sunlight than that of the currently used lanthanides. The
Underwater Touchpad Will Open Window Further Into the Dolphin Mind
NEW YORK, June 13, 2017 — An underwater computer touchscreen, through which dolphins at the National Aquarium in Baltimore, Maryland are able to interact, will be used to investigate dolphin intelligence and communication by providing the sea mammals with choice and control...
Hybrid Imaging Method Delivers Panoramic Scan of a Live Animal
DURHAM, N.C., June 12, 2017 — A hybrid imaging technique, dubbed Single-Impulse Panoramic Photoacoustic Computed Tomography (SIP-PACT), combines light and ultrasound to provide a full cross-sectional view of a small animal’s internal functions in real time, with enough...
Photons and Electrons Produce Hybrid Light-Matter Fluid
MONTREAL, June 9, 2017 — Light is composed of waves, but it can also behave like a liquid. In certain circumstances it can ripple and spiral around obstacles. These liquid properties of light emerge when the photons that form the light wave interact with each other....
Purdue and Microsoft to Collaborate on Quantum Computer

Quantum Emitters Generate Single Photons on Demand
CAMBRIDGE, England, June 6, 2017 — Quantum light emitters have been observed previously in atomically thin layers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). However, they have been found at random locations within the host material and usually in low densities, hindering experiments...
3D-Printed Patch Mends Hearts
MINNEAPOLIS, June 6, 2017 — A new 3D laser printed patch has been developed that can help heal scarred heart tissue after a heart attack. Researchers from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, University of Wisconsin-Madison, and University of Alabama-Birmingham used laser...
Conservation Explores Imaging Technology for Tiger Traps
NEW YORK CITY, June 6, 2017 — Several spatial capture-recapture (SCR) camera models have been developed to estimate animal abundance by analyzing the detections of individuals in a spatial array of traps, according to the Wildlife Conservation Society. Most of the models do not...
Liu Awarded IBM Fellowship Award
BETHLEHEM, Pa., June 6, 2017 — Lehigh University Ph.D. candidate Jie Liu has won an IBM Corp. Ph.D. fellowship award to study power systems and data analytics at IBM Research-Ireland. Liu develops large-scale optimization algorithms, or mathematical models, and applies them to...
Penn State’s Werner Awarded $8M to Advance Engineered Metamaterials Research
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa., June 6, 2017 — Doug Werner, John L. and Genevieve H. McCain Chair Professor of Electrical Engineering at Penn State, has been awarded nearly $8 million to continue his pioneering work in metamaterials development from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency...
Nominate an Outstanding Educator for an Industry Beacon Award
PITTSFIELD, Mass., June 5, 2017 — Each year, Photonics Media honors a few standout contributors to the photonics and optics industry who have made a difference through their efforts and achievements in photonics science, business or education. The Beacons program is fueled by...
LMU Researchers Using Flir Cameras to Study Hummingbirds
LOS ANGELES, June 5, 2017 — Researchers at the Loyola Marymount University (LMU) Center for Urban Resilience are using thermal imaging cameras from Flir Systems to better understand how hummingbirds can maintain strength with little rest. Understanding the physiological...
Metalens for Immersion Microscope Overcomes Challenges of Hand-Polishing Techniques
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 2, 2017 — A flat lens for immersion microscopy has been developed. The lens, which can be designed for use with any form of liquid, could provide a cost-effective and easy-to-manufacture alternative to hand polishing lenses for immersion objectives. Because...
A Marriage Made in Self-Driving Heaven
Jun 2, 2017 — Meet Marilyn and Martti — automated cars developed by the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland. They’re the first self-driving cars to be granted road traffic testing permits in the country, thanks to a suite of sophisticated optical...
Jellyfish Proteins Used to Create Unconventional Laser
ST. ANDREWS, Scotland, May 31, 2017 — A polariton laser based on lab-grown, fluorescent jellyfish proteins could impact the fabrication of artificial optical devices, advance the field of optical computing — as it require less energy than conventional lasers — and aid in new...
Halas Wins Weizmann Women and Science Award
HOUSTON, May 31, 2017 — Professor Naomi Halas at Rice University has won a 2017 Weizmann Women and Science Award from the Weizmann Institute in Rehovot, Israel. The biennial award, which was established in 1994, honors internationally renowned women scientists who have...

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, May 29, 2017 — Kirk Schanze, Robert A. Welch, distinguished university chair in chemistry at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), has received a $448,211 grant from the National Science Foundation to support his research in converting sunlight to...
Holographic Technique Traps Irregularly Shaped Microscopic Objects
DAEJEON, South Korea, May 26, 2017 — An optical manipulation technique that can securely control the position, orientation and shape of non-spherical microscopic samples, such as living cells, could have direct applications in biophotonics and soft matter physics. Although optical...
Quantum Effect Changes Direction of Light Waves
VIENNA, May 26, 2017 — In a variation of the magneto-optical effect, special materials called “topological insulators” (TI) demonstrated the ability to switch the direction of a light wave in clearly defined quantum leaps rather than continually. This...
