In a New Quantum Simulator, Light Behaves Like a Magnet
LAUSANNE, Switzerland, March 26, 2019 — When following the laws of quantum mechanics, systems made of many interacting particles can display behavior so complex that they cannot be quantitatively described by even the most powerful computers. In 1981, visionary physicist Richard Feynman...
Portable Photonic Crystal Biosensor Detects, Quantifies HIV in Africa
CAIRO, March 25, 2019 — Two African researchers have combined their laser expertise to develop a device that could improve the quality of treatment and life expectancy of people living with HIV. Sello Manoto, an African Laser Centre grant holder and CSIR Biophotonics...
Textile-Based Display Module Is Self-Powered, Washable
DAEJEON, South Korea, March 25, 2019 — A Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) research team has developed a textile-based wearable display module technology that is washable and does not require an external power source. The team fabricated its wearable display...
Photoacoustic Technique Measures Frequency to Image Structures of Different Scales
TORONTO, March 25, 2019 — A newly developed frequency domain technique for photoacoustic (PA) image formation, developed by a team at Ryerson University and St. Michael’s Hospital, subdivides PA signals into different frequency bands. Called F-Mode, the new technique...
Melanoma Blood Vessel Changes Detected with OCT Imaging
BERLIN, March 25, 2019 — An international team of researchers has proven that dynamic optical coherence tomography (D-OCT) imaging of melanoma reveals changes to the blood vessels that correlate with the depth of its invasion, which could lead to a faster method of rapidly...
Quantum Dots Demonstrate High Luminescence Efficiency
STANFORD, Calif., March 22, 2019 — A new technique for precisely measuring quantum dot (QD) performance, developed by researchers at Stanford University, showed that groups of QDs reliably emit about 99.6 percent of the light they absorb, with a potential error of 0.2 percent in...
Industrial Laser Proves Effective at Removing Nonstick Coatings
CÓRDOBA, Spain, March 22, 2019 — The Manufacturing Processes Engineering research group at the University of Cordoba has validated a new method for the removal of anti-adherent fluoropolymer coatings using a continuous-wave (CW) Nd:YAG laser. The research focused on the factors...
UMass Lowell Doctoral Student Wins Award for Cancer Imaging Device
LOWELL, Mass., March 22, 2019 — A University of Massachusetts Lowell Ph.D. candidate in physics has won international recognition for his research work in developing an imaging device that could lead to improved diagnosis and treatment of certain skin cancers.
