Research team of Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), Ulsan, South Korea, developed high-performance organic phototransistors (OPTs) based on single-crystalline n-channel organic nanowires.
Photographers rely on precision lenses to generate well-focused and crystal-clear images. These high-quality optics—readily available and produced in huge quantities—are often taken for granted. But as scientists explore the details of materials spanning just billionths of a meter, engineering the nanoscale equivalent of a camera lens becomes notoriously difficult.
Imagine a world in which you don’t need to speak to a car salesperson to get a trade-in quote, or a restaurant hostess to find out the wait time, or a hotel concierge to find the hottest city attraction. This world of dynamic digital merchandising is now possible as 3M debuts its first fully integrated, interactive Virtual Presenter at South by Southwest Interactive (SXSW).
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.
