Delicate Relation between Single Spins
Probing the magnetic interaction between single atoms is no longer a dream. Using a scanning tunnelling microscope, the interaction of the spins of two neighbouring cobalt atoms adsorbed at a copper surface has been measured as a function of their distance with atomic precision. view more (2007-03-05)
Powerful genome ID method extended to humans
A mathematical discovery has extended the reach of a novel genome mapping method to humans, potentially giving cancer biology a faster and more cost-effective tool than traditional DNA sequencing. view more (2006-10-10)
Stevens faculty release study on free-space optical communication in Optics Express
Three members of the faculty at Stevens Institute of Technology recently collaborated on a paper focusing on free-space optical communication, which appears in the latest issue of Optics Express, a premiere optics journal currently in circulation. view more (2009-03-18)
Every State School in Britain given science manual
British scientist Brian J Ford has published a science manual for British schools. A copy is being sent free of charge to state schools The book was commissioned by NESTA as part of Science Year. NESTA have already given an Intel Play QX3 digital microscope to British schools, and the new manual is filled with experiments school students can try... view more... (2002-05-28)
Researchers set sights on data transmission world record - Photon02
A research team, led by Dr Stuart Walker from Essex University, claims to have developed a data transmission method which can achieve world record telecommunications data rates, of over a terabit (one trillion binary digits) per second, on optical fibres which already exist in the majority of in-building communications networks throughout the... view more...

Using nanotechnology, UCLA researchers discover cancer cells 'feel' much softer than normal cells
A multidisciplinary team of UCLA scientists were able to differentiate metastatic cancer cells from normal cells in patient samples using leading-edge nanotechnology that measures the softness of the cells. view more (2007-12-03)
Researchers at UC-Santa Barbara have built the world's first mode-locked silicon evanescent laser
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have announced they have built the world's first mode-locked silicon evanescent laser, a significant step toward combining lasers and other key optical components with the existing electronic capabilities in silicon. view more (2007-08-22)
Optical atomic clock becomes portable
You imagine a clock to be different - yet the optical table with its many complicated set-ups really is one. Optical clocks like the strontium clock in the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) in Braunschweig could be the atomic clocks of the future; some of them though are already ten times more precise and stable than the best primary... view more...

Optical illusions, mirages that don't deceive
The aim of this paper is to dispel the excessively widespread myth that optical illusions are errors of the visual system. In 1978, Stanley Coren and Joan Stern Girgus published one of the most significant works of scientific literature in the last few decades, entitled "Seeing is Deceiving: The Psychology of Visual Illusions". view more (2006-07-24)
Improved spectrometer based on nonlinear optics
Scientists at Stanford University and Japan's National Institute of Informatics have created a new highly sensitive infrared spectrometer. view more (2008-11-13)
Pushing light beyond its known limits
Scientists at the University of Adelaide have made a breakthrough that could change the world's thinking on what light is capable of. view more (2009-11-13)
UCLA engineering researchers capture optical 'rogue waves'
Maritime folklore tells tales of giant "rogue waves" that can appear and disappear without warning in the open ocean. Also known as "freak waves," these ominous monsters have been described by mariners for ages and have even appeared prominently in many legendary literary works, from Homer's "Odyssey" to... view more...

Scientists in Japan design first optical pacemaker for laboratory research
The world's first optical pacemaker is described in an article published today in Optics Express, the Optical Society's open-access journal. A team of scientists at Osaka University in Japan show that powerful, but very short, laser pulses can help control the beating of heart muscle cells. view more (2008-05-28)
Optical imaging added to ultrasound improves breast cancer diagnosis
A new study shows that combining a technology called optical tomography with standard ultrasound imaging can help distinguish early-stage breast cancer from non-cancerous lesions-and potentially reduce the number of breast biopsies performed. view more (2005-09-27)
First acoustic metamaterial 'superlens' created by U. of I. researchers
A team of researchers at the University of Illinois has created the world's first acoustic "superlens," an innovation that could have practical implications for high-resolution ultrasound imaging, non-destructive structural testing of buildings and bridges, and novel underwater stealth technology. view more (2009-06-25)
'Optical fingerprinting' makes extra virgin olive oil shine out from the fakes
A Loughborough University researcher has teamed up with scientists from Italy to develop a unique optical fingerprinting system to detect extra virgin oil from the fakes. The increasing popularity of the Mediterranean diet means that the production of high quality extra-virgin olive oil is a booming business. The oil produced in Italy is renowned... view more...

Luminescence shines new light on proteins
A chance discovery by a team of scientists using optical probes means that changes in cells in the human body could now be seen in a completely different light. view more (2008-11-12)
SUNY researcher issued patent for virtual telemicroscope
After nearly ten years of research and development, scientists at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn and Peking University in Beijing were awarded a United States patent for their virtual telemicroscope. This patented software permits off-site pathologists to diagnose cancer or other diseases in patients living in remote locations around... view more... (2008-03-28)
Mercury atomic clock keeps time with record accuracy
An experimental atomic clock based on a single mercury atom is now at least five times more precise than the national standard clock based on a "fountain" of cesium atoms. view more (2006-07-17)
