Billions of particles of anti-matter created in laboratory
ake a gold sample the size of the head of a push pin, shoot a laser through it, and suddenly more than 100 billion particles of anti-matter appear. The anti-matter, also known as positrons, shoots out of the target in a cone-shaped plasma "jet." view more (2008-11-18)
Purdue 'milestone' a step toward advanced sensors, communications
Engineers at Purdue University have shown how to finely control the spectral properties of ultrafast light pulses, a step toward creating advanced sensors, more powerful communications technologies and more precise laboratory instruments. view more (2007-08-02)
Ceramic research reaches new heights
Materials scientists at the University of Wales Aberystwyth (UWA) are taking ceramics to new heights in order to determine the structure and stability of the materials which are used to construct aeroplane engines and the tiles for the space shuttle. Dr Rudi Winter and colleagues from the Department of Physics at UWA are using a unique... view more... (2002-03-05)
Breaking barriers with nanoscale lasers
We could soon see the potential of laser technology expand dramatically. Ways to make lasers smaller are being discovered through collaborative efforts of researchers at Arizona State University and Technical University of Eindhoven in the Netherlands. view more (2009-07-29)
Researchers achieve long-sought goal of using lasers to break specific molecular bonds
A team of researchers has achieved a long-sought scientific goal: using laser light to break specific molecular bonds. view more (2006-05-19)
Improved planning and perfomance of surgery - caesar research center at the Medica in Düsseldorf
Bonn research center caesar is presenting current medical technology projects at the "Medica 2004" in Düsseldorf (Hall 13, Stand C12) from November 24 - 27, 2004. Scientists support surgeons with innovative computer and laser technology in the planning and performance of operations. At the trade fair they are demonstrating a laser... view more... (2004-11-22)
New research reveals hidden earthquake trouble spots
A team from the University of Leicester has used a powerful laser mounted on an aircraft to uncover earthquake fault lines that are hidden by forest cover and never before seen by earth scientists. view more (2006-11-08)
New nanolaser key to future optical computers and technologies
Because the new device, called a "spaser," is the first of its kind to emit visible light, it represents a critical component for possible future technologies based on "nanophotonic" circuitry, said Vladimir Shalaev, the Robert and Anne Burnett Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University. view more (2009-08-17)
Cleaner diesels thanks to laser light
Measuring soot formation in a diesel engine is far from easy. Due to the turbulent environment in the combustion cylinder, no two combustion cycles are the same. view more (2007-12-10)
Researchers effectively treat tumors with use of nanotubes
By injecting man-made, microscopic tubes into tumors and heating them with a quick, 30-second zap of a laser, scientists have discovered a way to effectively kill kidney tumors in nearly 80 percent of mice. view more (2009-08-04)
£5million for science research facilities
A high power laser will benefit from a £3million grant in a development that will create the most intense laser in the world. An award to support further development of the Astra laser at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory is the largest project included in the very first facility development project grant awards issued by the CCLRC. It will... view more... (2004-03-23)
Iowa State engineer develops laser technologies to analyze combustion, biofuels
Let's say a fuel derived from biomass produces too much soot when it's burned in a combustion chamber designed for fossil fuels. How can an engineer find the source of the problem? It originates, after all, in the flame zone of a highly turbulent combustion chamber. That's not exactly an easy place for an engineer to take measurements. view more (2007-12-06)
A new technique for curing blindness, squeezing a thousand DVDs into a matchbox and finding the missing link in optoelectronics – all covered in the January/February issue of Opto and Laser Europe
CURING BLINDNESS Age related macular degeneration (ARMD) is the principal cause of blindness for patients over 50 in the developed world. A new drug has recently been given approval for use in photodynamic therapy to treat this condition in Europe and the US. Photodynamic therapy, where a combination of injected drugs are stimulated by laser... view more... (2001-01-18)
Mobile microscopes illuminate the brain
The majority of our life is spent moving around a static world and we generate our impression of the world using visual and other senses simultaneously. view more (2009-11-03)
Making robotic movement of goods more 'pallet-able'
Robots running amok and destroying property may be a staple in science fiction films, but they aren't welcome in factories, warehouses and other places where automatic guided vehicle (AGV) forklifts are used. view more (2006-11-13)
Study gives clues to increasing X-rays' power
Three-dimensional, real-time X-ray images of patients could be closer to reality because of research recently completed by scientists at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and a pair of Russian institutes. view more (2009-06-16)
BSSA special issue on rotational seismology
A special May issue of the Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America (BSSA) focuses on the emerging field of rotational seismology and its applications to engineering. view more (2009-04-27)
Diminishing dinosaur steps saved by laser and laptop
The Fumanya site, in the Bergueda region of central Catalonia, is so delicate that experts cannot get physically close enough to the tracks to examine them. view more (2007-05-10)
Stunt doubles: Ultracold atoms could replicate the electron 'jitterbug'
Ultracold atoms moving through a carefully designed arrangement of laser beams will jiggle slightly as they go, two NIST scientists have predicted. view more (2008-03-11)
Next-generation microcapsules deliver 'chemicals on demand'
Scientists in California are reporting development of a new generation of the microcapsules used in carbon-free copy paper, in which capsules burst and release ink with pressure from a pen. view more (2009-10-29)
