By placing quantum dots on a specially designed photonic
crystal, researchers at the University of Illinois have
demonstrated enhanced fluorescence intensity by a factor of up to 108.
Potential applications include high-brightness light-emitting diodes,
optical switches and personalized, high-sensitivity biosensors.
BIOIDENT Technologies Inc., the leading
company in the development of printed opto-electronic solutions for life sciences, today
announced that the company is a co-winner in the semiconductor category for the
seventh annual Wall Street Journal contest for Technology Innovation. BIOIDENT was
awarded for the development of its PhotonicLab Platform™, which enables rapid in-vitro
diagnostics, chemical and biological threat detection, and environmental testing without
the need for off-site lab analysis.
Some new technologies appear from nowhere. Others are heralded by such long fanfares that it seems they will never arrive. Electronic paper is surely in the second category. The idea of a display screen that has the clarity and flexibility of paper has been around for at least a decade. It has found a few niche, black-and-white applications in mobile phones and ¡§electronic books¡¨. As a mass-market, full-colour product, however, it has conspicuously failed to show up.
The Army is set to deliver a new combat optic to its Soldiers that could take "owning the night" to a whole new level.
An international team of astronomers using ESO's Very Large Telescope has discovered that the south pole of Neptune is much hotter than the rest of the planet. This is consistent with the fact that it is late southern summer and this region has been in sunlight for about 40 years.
The new DSTS sensor from OZ Optics is now available from AMS Technologies throughout Europe.
Roubaix, France-based OVH chose Infinera's digital optical network to link its Paris and Roubaix data centers. The Internet service provider (ISP) operates more than 24,000 servers in its data centers.
Infinera has demonstrated the transmission of 40 Gigabit/second (Gb/s) services over a distance of 8,477 kilometers across a transoceanic network spanning Europe and the U.S., a record distance for a field trial involving 40 Gb/s services. Infinera believes that this demonstration shows how key Infinera technical innovations can enable service providers to offer new high bandwidth services such as 40 Gb/s or OC-768/STM-256 Packet over SONET (POS) services today, and 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) in the future, over existing infrastructures with less cost and greater flexibility than the 40 Gb/s solutions offered by traditional WDM providers.
Applications such as analytical and environmental science, medical and biotechnology, and genetics and fluorescence measurement could all benefit from Schott¡¦s latest interference filters. Called ¡§Veril¡¨ filters, the product uses thin layers to either transmit or reflect various colors of the spectrum.
The new system, which researchers Elizabeth Hillman of Columbia University and Anna Moore of the Harvard Medical School have dubbed a dynamic fluorescence molecular (DFM) imager, is currently being used to monitor the organs of laboratory mice. Hillman is now collaborating with Cambridge Research & Instrumentation to develop a commercial imaging platform that could have applications in drug testing and in the search for tumour-killing cancer treatments.
