Fraunhofer Researchers Use Nanoporous Gold Structure to Develop High-Resolution Illumination System

According to statistics, the majority of accidents occur at dusk or at night – poor visibility is often the trigger. Intelligent headlights adapt to the current traffic situation, and can be a remedy. In collaboration with industry partners, Fraunhofer researchers have developed a high-resolution illumination system with more than 1,000 LED pixels: It offers considerably more options for precise light distribution than previous solutions have and is also energy efficient.

New Way to Focus Light Beyond Normal Wavelengths to Reach Nanoscales in Length

Researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology have developed technology to compress light wavelengths fourfold, providing a way to focus light beyond normal wavelengths to reach nanoscales (a nanometer is a billionth of a meter) in length.

New Type of Inferometer for Biosensing at the Nanoscale

Nanoscale plasmonic interferometry is a method that integrates the fields of nanotechnology and plasmonics by manipulating the interaction between light and the electrons in metals. This novel technique could be used for the development of biosensors, which can conduct a complete blood workup using a single drop, or hand-held environmental sensors capable of instantly and simultaneously testing water for pesticides, E. coli and lead.

Critical Step Towards Development of New Nanotechnologies that Integrate Light with Electronics

Heterostructures formed by different three-dimensional semiconductors form the foundation for modern electronic and photonic devices. Now, University of Washington scientists have successfully combined two different ultrathin semiconductors — each just one layer of atoms thick and roughly 100,000 times thinner than a human hair — to make a new two-dimensional heterostructure with potential uses in clean energy and optically-active electronics. The team, led by Boeing Distinguished Associate Professor Xiaodong Xu, announced its findings in a paper published Feb. 12 in the journal Science.
