Researchers have modified nanoparticles known as "Cornell dots" to make the world's tiniest laser -- so small it could be incorporated into microchips to serve as a light source for photonic circuits. The device may also have applications for sensors, solar collectors and in biomedicine.
The University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. (UGARF) and the University of Puerto Rico have granted an international, non-exclusive license for a portfolio of glow-in-the-dark pigments that can be designed to emit light in any color of the visible spectrum for nearly a day. Performance Indicator, LLC, of Lowell, Mass., acquired the license.
CERAM, the materials technology consultancy, is pleased to announce that it has produced a mini version of its CCSII Colour Standards - CCSII Mini Colour Standards. The new format consists of 1cm square wafers of the twelve CCSII Colours plus a Black and a White Standard, embedded in a protective assembly that holds them in an area that is the size of a credit card.
Because the new device, called a "spaser," is the first of its kind to emit visible light, it represents a critical component for possible future technologies based on "nanophotonic" circuitry, said Vladimir Shalaev, the Robert and Anne Burnett Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University.
The new Genesis 355-150 S from Coherent, Inc. (Santa Clara, CA) (Nasdaq: COHR) sets a new power record for true CW ultraviolet solid-state performance, delivering over 150 milliwatts of TEM00 output for flow cytometry and other live-cell bio applications.
Solar energy is presently experiencing an enormous upsurge in interest, adding emphasis to the need to optimize efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Materials testing has a vital role to play here, with a multitude of testing options already available to the solar market from leading testing system manufacturer Zwick.
NanoMarkets, the leading provider of industry analysis and market and technology research services for companies competing for or interested in thin film, organic and printable electronics related markets, today announced a new report that continues the firm's coverage of OLED lighting.
Celsia Technologies (OTC: CLST) has been chosen by Taiwanese based United Innovation to cool the company's 9-, 11-, and 13-watt LED spotlights. Each of these spotlights include a combination of United's unique multi-chip LED package along with Celsia's patented NanoSpreader vapor chamber.
Now, a research team led by Makoto Fujita from the University of Tokyo and Tahei Tahara from the RIKEN Advanced Science Institute has found a simple way to mimic the initial stage of photosynthesis by mechanically trapping a guest molecule inside a cage structure.
A new centre for doctoral training at UCL is preparing to train the next generation of experts in the growing science of photonics. Just as electronics uses electrons to perform different functions, photonics combines electronics with the control of photons - elementary 'packages' of light - to perform similar or more advanced functions.
Tunable lasers rely on the performance of a micropositioning or nanopositioning actuator to position a diffraction grating with extreme precision and repeatability. Noliac provides low voltage actuators, high flexibility in size and materials, and plate as well as ring shaped actuators for tunable lasers.
DALSA Corporation (TSX: DSA), a global leader in machine vision technology, today introduced a new member to its line of affordable and easy-to-use GigE Vision-compliant cameras with the release of the Genie™ HM1400-XDR camera, a model with extended dynamic range (XDR).
Imagine a world where bright, energy sipping, cheap, durable LEDs light the world. A world where if you have enough light to see, you are connected. The University of California, Riverside will lead a multi-campus effort that could reshape the way we communicate and navigate in homes, offices, airports and especially in hospitals, airports and other places where radio frequency communication is prohibited.
Researchers at the Spanish Toy Technological Institute (AIJU) have found that infrared thermography is a technique that can be used in the plastics industry, specifically for process optimisation and quality improvement.
University of Central Florida researchers have shown for the first time that light energy can gently guide and change the orientation of living cells within lab cultures. That ability to optically steer cells could be a major step in harnessing the healing power of stem cells and guiding them to areas of the body that need help.
