Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania have theorized a way to increase the speed of pulses of light that bound across chains of tiny metal particles to well past the speed of light by altering the particle shape. Application of this theory would use nanosized metal chains as building blocks for novel optoelectronic and optical devices, which would operate at higher frequencies than conventional electronic circuits. Such devices could eventually find applications in the developing area of high-speed optical computing, in which protons and light replace electrons and transistors for greater performance.
Applied Energetics Continue development of Light Filament Sensor Technology from the U.S. Army.
The Light Filament Sensor program is aimed at developing a system for detecting and identifying trace
Octillion Corp., a next-generation alternative and renewable energy technology incubator, today announced that it has entered into a Sponsored Research Agreement with scientists at Oakland University to further the development of its NanoPower Window technology. In addition to working to advance the Company’s solar photovoltaic technology, scientists and collaborating researchers will explore additional nanotechnology applications that may be derived from their efforts.
SensorTran today announced a cooperative agreement with Micron Optics, Inc. to offer the world's first integrated, hybrid fiber optic sensing solution. The new system offers both Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) capabilities and Fiber-Bragg Grating (FBG) point sensing capabilities, which measure pressure, strain and vibration
BAE Systems will equip special operations forces vehicles with thermal imaging systems that enhance forward and rearward visibility. The technology systems will fuse visible-light and infrared imagery to provide the vehicle driver the best possible view in daylight, darkness and all weather conditions.
An AFOSR-funded, Princeton-based professor, Dr. Craig Arnold, has been researching a new approach to optical nanopatterning, the forming of nanometer scale patterns on a substrate. This technology will have an impact on a variety of current and future Air Force needs.
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "LED Driver ICs: Application Drivers, Technology Developments + Product Introduction Trends" report to their offering.
According to the latest report form tootoo.com, the wonderful lighting effects that contributed to the luminous opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games truly showcased the full potential of LEDs. The LEDs, which are often used in live performances, were able to reach their full potential for the first time, in part, because of the improvements in the development of bigger, better battery cells.
First-generation silicon photonics products are now available from a handful of suppliers, a development that promises to have major implications for a wide range of telecom and networking technologies, according to the latest report from Light Reading Insider, a paid research service of TechWeb's Light Reading.
Imagine an edible optical sensor that could be placed in produce bags to detect harmful levels of bacteria and consumed right along with the veggies. Or an implantable device that would monitor glucose in your blood for a year, then dissolve.
