Cree, Inc., a leader in LED lighting components, today announced it has demonstrated light output of more than 1,000 lumens – an amount equivalent to the output level of a standard household light bulb – from a single R&D LED. Cree’s achievement demonstrates continued leadership in the development of LEDs that can make traditional light bulbs obsolete.
Imagine Optic is proud to announce the arrival of the latest addition to its award winning HASO™ wavefront sensor product line, HASO3, a completely revised version of its flagship wavefront analysis software, HASOv3, and the all new StitchWave™ for reconstructing multiple wavefronts obtained when measuring large surfaces. The company equally plans to release two new adaptive optics software packages, CASAO™ and GENAO™, in the first quarter of 2007.
CRAIC Technologies, the leader manufacturer of UV-visible-NIR microscopes and microspectrophotometers, today released the new QDI ImageUV™ imaging system for the QDI 2010™ microspectrophotometer. This new system represents a major step forward in the fields of microscopy and microspectroscopy in that it allows users of the QDI 2010™ to acquire both images and spectra in the UV, visible and NIR regions of micron-scale samples. Images and spectra can be acquired in transmittance, reflectance, polarization and even fluorescence from the deep UV to the NIR.
Colour contrast is detected much earlier in the brain than previously thought, a new study shows.
The Toronto Association of Business Improvement
Areas (TABIA) today announced that Toronto is joining Raleigh, N.C. in a
citywide initiative to install light-emitting diode (LED) lighting throughout
its infrastructure. The "LED City" program, which was launched in February by
City of Raleigh officials and LED manufacturer Cree, Inc., fosters
collaboration among municipalities as they deploy energy- efficient lighting
to deliver cost savings and environmental benefits.
Scientists have long known that the human body runs like clockwork, guided by a circadian system that responds to daily patterns of light and darkness. Now a team of researchers is developing a personal device to measure daily light intake and activity, which could allow them to predict optimal timing for light therapy to synchronize the circadian clock to the 24-hour solar day and relieve psychosocial stress.
It is well established that a child's brain has a remarkable capacity for change, but controversy continues about the extent to which such plasticity exists in the adult human primary sensory cortex. Now, neuroscientists from MIT and Johns Hopkins University have used converging evidence from brain imaging and behavioral studies to show that the adult visual cortex does indeed reorganize-and that the change affects visual perception. The study appears online Sept. 5 in an advance publication of the Journal of Neuroscience.
Northrop Grumman Corporation has been awarded a contract from the U.S. Army to provide more than 500 hand-held laser target locators to assist soldiers in locating and identifying enemy targets.
American Fiber Systems (AFS), a leading provider of private optical networks, announced today the successful completion of its fiber optic metro network expansion in the Salt Lake City area.
NanoSight Limited, the nanoparticle characterisation company, announces the completion of an angel investor round that increases its shareholder base and complements previous investments by Venture Capital companies, including NESTA, Strathdon and South West Ventures. The angel investment came from members of the SWAIN and OEI Investment Networks.
If you want to exploit the ability of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) to absorb, fluoresce and scatter light, take the advice of a sandlot quarterback and “go long
Sensors can monitor production processes, unmask tiny cracks in aircraft hulls, and determine the amount of laundry in a washing machine. In future, they will also be used in the human body and raise the alarm in the event of high pressure in the eye, bladder or brain.
Without silicon there would be no computer industry since most computer chips consist of this semiconductor material. The same is true for solar cells: They too are predominantly silicon-based. The monocrystals are cut in round slices approximately one millimeter thick, which experts call wafers. Their surfaces must be as smooth as glass; irregularities may only be a few nanometers wide, i.e. less than one ten thousandth of a hair. Therefore, after they have been cut out of a large silicon monocrystal, the wafers must be ground and polished.
American Elements announced today the formation of a new product group to manage the production, sales and marketing of its quantum dot nanopowder production facilities. The new division was spun off from the Nanometals™ Group and will operate under the tradename AE Quantum Dots.
OSRAM (Germany) has granted to Seoul Semiconductors against compensation a license to manufacture and sell white LEDs with conversion technology using patents owned by the OSRAM subsidiary OSRAM Opto Semiconductors. In return Seoul Semiconductors granted to OSRAM a license to use housing patents of Seoul Semiconductors. This agreement paves the way for a closer cooperation between the two companies.
