To advance its science mission that focuses on critical national challenges, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has approved the construction start of the state-of-the-art National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) at Brookhaven National Laboratory.
A joint team of researchers at CIC nanoGUNE (San Sebastian, Spain) and the Max Planck Institutes of Biochemistry and Plasma Physics (Munich, Germany) report the non-invasive and nanoscale resolved infrared mapping of strain fields in semiconductors.
With the same type of fiber optic cables used in telecommunications systems, researchers from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology have developed a way to detect and pinpoint the excavation of tunnels during times of war, such as those used for smuggling weapons into Gaza. The findings will be presented at the Defense, Security and Sensing Conference of SPIE (an international society advancing light-based research) in April 2009 in Orlando, Florida.
Using a simple chemical process, scientists at Cornell and DuPont have invented a method of preparing carbon nanotubes for suspension in a semiconducting "ink," which can then be printed into such thin, flexible electronics as transistors and photovoltaic materials.
Energetiq Technology, Inc., a developer and manufacturer of specialized short-wavelength light products for advanced technology applications, today announced that it has raised additional capital in its Series C round of financing. The financing was led by a new investor, Ushio Inc. , and supported by existing investors including Intel Capital and Shea Ventures.
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Perspectives on the Optoelectronics Industry: 2 - Innovation" report to their offering.
In the lab of UCLA electrical engineering professor Aydogan Ozcan, a prototype
cell phone has been constructed that is capable of monitoring the condition
of HIV and malaria patients, as well as testing water quality in undeveloped
areas or disaster sites. The innovative imaging technology was invented by Ozcan,
a member of the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA, and has been miniaturized
by researchers in his lab to the point that it can fit in standard cell phones.
A paper
in a special energy issue of Optics Express, the Optical
Society's (OSA) open-access journal, describes a relatively new approach
to solar cells: lacing them with nanoscopic metal particles. As the authors
describe in the article, this approach has the potential to greatly improve
the ability of solar cells to harvest light efficiently.
Cell phones have already revolutionized the way people around the world communicate and do business. Thanks to advances being made at UCLA, they are about to do the same thing for medicine.
In the lab of UCLA electric...
A Princeton-led team of researchers has discovered an entirely new mechanism for making common electronic materials emit laser beams. The finding could lead to lasers that operate more efficiently and at higher temperatures than existing devices, and find applications in environmental monitoring and medical diagnostics.
