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.
Engineers at Thales UK¡¦s Optronics business in Glasgow are installing Thales¡¦s CM10 optronic masts on the Royal Navy¡¦s new submarine, HMS Astute.
As an infant, Raea Gragg was withdrawn and could not make eye contact. By preschool she needed to smell and squeeze every object she saw.
The HairMax Laser Comb is the most recent product to have been approved by the FDA following clinical trials that proved the device prevents hair loss and re-grows the hair of those who experience genetic hair loss. The only two other treatments which have also been FDA approved are Minoxidil and Propecia - these are the two most effective known treatments to combat the problem of hair loss and ensure most people's hair loss will be halted and hair will be re-grown!
A team of U.S., Australian, and German researchers have identified the gene needed for binocular vision in mice.
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.
Pinpoint Laser Systems® is introducing the 2D Microgage Laser alignment tool for precision measuring, machine alignment, calibration, and other demanding industrial applications. Roll and web lines, CNC cutting and milling equipment, lathes, stamping presses, injection molding machines, extrusion systems, and other production equipment are easily checked and aligned for improved operating efficiency and reduced downtime with this new Microgage. The new Microgage 2D is compact and easy to set-up and use right on the factory floor.
Spire (SPIR) revealed that it has been awarded a two-year, $870 thousand Phase II Small Business Innovation Research grant by the National Institutes of Heath, National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders to develop a high power fiber laser capable of performing myringotomy and middle-ear surgery without the need for anesthesia.
