New Light-Driven Motor is Simpler and More Promising

Sunflowers track the sun as it moves from east to west. But people usually have to convert sunlight into electricity or heat to put its power to use. Now, a team of University of Florida chemists is the latest to report a new mechanism to transform light straight into motion – albeit at a very, very, very tiny scale.

Increasing the Efficiency of Lasers with Nanoparticles

"Light scattering" and "optical performance" are two concepts that usually head in opposite directions, but they have recently been shown to walk happily hand-in-hand. The results are impressive laser output from some new composite materials and the potential for making commercially viable solid-state dye lasers.
