YouTube Phenom Builds Lasers From Spare Parts
Feb 28, 2018 — Drake Anthony calls himself a professional mad scientist on YouTube. That’s because … well … he sort of is. Anthony has built his own lasers since he was 12, when he first took apart a green laser pointer, modified it and made it stronger. Today, viewers of his styropyro YouTube channel can see a number of his laser building exploits. Drake Anthony and his real burning homemade lightsaber. Courtesy of Styropyro. Combining the two scenarios that his fans

Tomography System Could Help Determine Who Will Respond Best to Chemo
NEW YORK, Feb. 20, 2018 — A new optical imaging system uses red and NIR light to identify breast cancer patients who could benefit most from chemotherapy. The dynamic diffuse optical tomography system could be able to predict response to chemotherapy as early as two weeks...
Multiple Resonators Can Improve Signal Transmission
NEW YORK, Feb. 20, 2018 — Scientists have developed a light wave isolation method for efficient signal transmission that is less costly and more versatile than use of a single resonator to induce light waves to travel in just one direction. The new approach does not require...
Spectroscopy Explores Photoinduced Reactions in Anticancer Drug
COVENTRY, England, Feb. 20, 2018 — Using IR spectroscopy researchers have gained fresh insight into how a platinum-based chemotherapy drug candidate functions when activated by light. Completely inactive and non-toxic in the dark, the treatment can be targeted to cancerous areas and...
Team Demonstrates Three-Photon Bound States, Advancing Quantum Computing
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Feb. 16, 2018 — Scientists have observed traveling three-photon bound states in a quantum nonlinear medium, a phenomenon that could help further the use of photons in quantum computing. Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harvard...
Quantum Computing Advances With Demo of Spin–Photon Interface in Silicon
PRINCETON, N.J., Feb. 15, 2018 — Researchers have experimentally demonstrated a way to use light to connect silicon quantum bits (qubits) of information that are not immediately adjacent to each other. Their work could advance scientific efforts to make quantum computing devices...
