Promise shown for data encryption and data storage using holograms
The rapidly developing digital age demands greater processing power, data storage and data encryption for computer based technologies. Recent developments point towards optical information processing as a great leap forward. view more (2006-03-28)
Image Velocity Estimation In Echocardiographs
BACKGROUND There are many instances in which a subject in an image is moving, and it is necessary to track the subject as it moves from frame to frame; this movement is known as optical flow or image velocity. Such measurement of optical flow may be done to improve the image encoding efficiency, or allow enhancement of the display of the movement... view more... (2005-04-26)
New imaging method lets scientists 'see' cell molecules more clearly
Scientists have always wanted to take a closer look at biological systems and materials. From the magnifying glass to the electron microscope, they have developed ever-increasingly sophisticated imaging devices. view more (2009-01-21)
New imaging technique reveals the atomic structure of nanocrystals
A new imaging technique developed by researchers at the University of Illinois overcomes the limit of diffraction and can reveal the atomic structure of a single nanocrystal with a resolution of less than one angstrom (less than one hundred-millionth of a centimeter). view more (2009-02-19)
Optical brighteners for bioinsecticides
Optical brighteners are a valuable component for bioinsecticide formulae based on baculovirus. These substances enhance their insecticidal capacity at the same time as they do not favour the development of resistance of the insects to these viruses, nor do they increase the probability that the insect might develop sublethal infections, rather... view more...

Nanoscopic changes to pancreatic cells reveal cancer
A team of researchers in Chicago has developed a way to examine cell biopsies and detect never-before-seen signs of early-stage pancreatic cancer, according to a new paper in the Optical Society (OSA) journal Optics Letters. view more (2009-02-13)
Turning sound into light
Actors who perform in musicals often sweat in torrents when they have to zap around the stage on roller-skates or sing a ballad under a burning spotlight, dressed in bearskin. To allow the audience to hear them clearly, the artists wear cleverly hidden microphones underneath their make-up and costume. But as soon they break into a sweat, the... view more... (2003-09-18)
Space age technology benefits industry
They have achieved a new breakthrough in X-ray technology with the use of a novel laboratory instrument which they plan to develop. view more (1999-12-15)
Guiding light - CMD19/CMMP with The Physics Congress 2002
A new type of optical material has been developed by physicists that could replace the electronics used to route the light signals through optical fibre telecommunications networks. It could even provide the basis for future `optical computers` working on light pulses instead of electric signals. At the Condensed Matter conference on Monday 8... view more... (2002-03-26)
Butterflies' wings dazzle with science
The brilliant dazzle of butterflies' wings could hold the key to a new type of optical material, called photonic crystals. Over the past 15 years, photonic crystals have attracted the attention of a vast international community, as scientists have begun to realise their potential applications in the field of optoelectronics and telecommunications.... view more...

Swell alcohol detector
A new, highly sensitive way of detecting alcohol vapour is published today in the Institute of Physics journal, Measurement Science and Technology. Researchers from the University of Yamanashi and the TRI Chemical Laboratory Inc in Japan have designed and tested new plastic optical fibre sensors that could be used to detect hazardous gas leaks,... view more...

Scientists at the University of the Basque Country succeed in cooling solid material with laser
A team of researchers at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) have experimentally demonstrated something that other scientists have been trying to achieve for decades: the cooling of erbium-doped materials with laser light. view more (2006-07-27)
Hanover Trade Fair 2003: Precise positioning of optical fibres
Connector for the flexible set-up of optical communication networks Setting up low-cost optical communication networks requires suitable interfaces such as plug connectors or couplings which can position optical fibre ribbons with a very fine tolerance. Together with three cooperation partners, the Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz GmbH (IMM)... view more... (2003-04-07)
Scientists find new role for the swastika
Just a month after a call for a European-wide ban of the swastika, scientists have found that the symbol has new applications in optical communications and could have a role in quantum cryptography. view more (2005-02-23)
MIT develops 'tractor beam' for cells, more
In a feat that seems like something out of a microscopic version of Star Trek, MIT researchers have found a way to use a "tractor beam" of light to pick up, hold, and move around individual cells and other objects on the surface of a microchip. view more (2007-10-31)
Bridging the gap in nanoantennas
In a recent publication in Nature Photonics, a joint team of researchers at CIC nanoGUNE, Donostia International Physics Center DIPC, Centro de Física de Materiales of CSIC/UPV-EHU in San Sebastian (Spain), Harvard University (USA) and the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry in Munich (Germany) reports an innovative method for controlling light... view more...

Using invisibility to increase visibility
Research into the development of invisibility devices has spurred two physicists' thought on the behaviour of light to overcome the seemingly intractable problem of optical singularities which could soon lead to the manufacturing of a perfect cat's eye. view more (2008-12-01)
Nanomicroscopy reveals the collective transport of gold atoms in real-time
Researchers at Delft University of Technology used a High Resolution Electron Microscope to observe in real-time the collective transportation of gold atoms in a thin layer. view more (2007-02-06)
Silicon optical fiber made practical
Scientists at Clemson University for the first time have been able to make a practical optical fiber with a silicon core, according to a new paper published in the current issue of the Optical Society's open-access journal, Optics Express. view more (2008-10-28)
Placing single nanowires: NIST makes the connection
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have devised a system for manipulating and precisely positioning individual nanowires on semiconductor wafers. view more (2007-04-30)
