A research group of WPI-MANA, including Dr. Chung Vu Hoang (Doctoral Research Fellow), Dr. Tadaaki Nagao (Group Leader of Nano-System Photonics Group), Dr. Masakazu Aono (Director-General of MANA), and others discovered that it is possible to detect diluted ionic mercury in water with more than 10 times higher sensitivity than with the conventional spectroscopy method.
Attolight, EPFL’s spin-off, is looking towards the rising sun. While a Singapore based research institute has placed its first order, other sales are being approved in China and a contract with a Japanese distributor is under negotiation. Samuel Sonderreger is the CEO of this young company created in 2008, and he reveals to us the secrets of his entry into the Asian market.
For scientists to improve cancer treatments with targeted therapeutic drugs, they need to be able to see proteins prevalent in the cancer cells. This has been impossible, until now.
Having spent nearly a century in relative obscurity, the market is finally beginning to embrace photonic crystal technology. An unwillingness and apprehension to exploring alternatives to well-oiled and well-established fabrication processes have kept large-scale commercialization of photonic crystals and photonic circuitry at bay.
Silicon nanocrystals have a size of a few nanometers and possess a high luminous potential. Scientists of KIT and the University of Toronto/Canada have now succeeded in manufacturing silicon-based light-emitting diodes (SiLEDs). They are free of heavy metals and can emit light in various colors. The team of chemists, materials researchers, nanoscientists, and opto-electronic experts presents its development in the “Nano Letters” journal (DOI: 10.1021/nl3038689).
CEA-Leti today announced that it will coordinate a four-year project aimed at building a European-based supply chain in silicon photonics and speeding industrialization of the technology.
DigitalOptics Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tessera Technologies, Inc., today introduced mems|cam™, a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) autofocus camera module for smartphones.
Free electron lasers (FELs) have proven their worth, but next-generation light sources will have to do better than produce ultrabright x-ray pulses 100 or so times a second. What’s needed is megahertz rep rate, a million times a second. Since it’s electrons that make the x-rays, the only way to achieve that kind of performance is with an electron gun that can deliver tight electron bunches with high charge, high energy, and a very high repetition rate – sources like Berkeley Lab’s futuristic APEX, for which Howard Padmore of the Advanced Light Source (ALS) and his colleagues are designing the photocathodes.
University at Buffalo engineers have created a more efficient way to catch rainbows, an advancement in photonics that could lead to technological breakthroughs in solar energy, stealth technology and other areas of research.
The University of Twente in the Netherlands has donated a linear accelerator and peripheral materialsto Colorado State University to help enhance ongoing research collaborations with Professors Sandra Biedron and Stephen Milton in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. The accelerator arrived on campus in January.
