Researchers generate high-speed pulses of laser light on silicon, speeding data transmission
In the Sept. 3 issue of Optical Society of America's Optics Express, published online today, researchers announce that they have built the world's first "mode-locked silicon evanescent laser." view more (2007-08-22)
Scientists Image 'Magnetic Semiconductors' On The Nanoscale
In a first-of-its-kind achievement, scientists at the University of Iowa, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Princeton University have directly imaged the magnetic interactions between two magnetic atoms less than one nanometer apart (one billionth of a meter) and embedded in a semiconductor chip. view more (2006-07-27)
Rice scientists make breakthrough in single-molecule sensing
In a study that could lay the foundation for mass-produced single-molecule sensors, physicists and engineers at Rice University have demonstrated a means of simultaneously making optical and electronic measurements of the same molecule. view more (2008-02-07)
Shedding new light on biology
Physicists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) have developed a state-of-the-art microscope that gives scientists a much deeper look into living organisms than ever before. The new technology will undoubtedly become a standard fixture in modern biology labs. Its many advantages and applications are described in the latest edition... view more... (2004-08-09)
First high-resolution images of bone, tooth and shell formation
Researchers at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) have for the first time made high-resolution images of the earliest stages of bone formation. They used the world's most advanced electron microscope to make three-dimensional images of the nano-particles that are at the heart of the process. view more (2009-03-13)
Optoelectronics Research Centre director awarded CBE
Professor David Payne, Director of the University of Southampton's Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC), has been appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the Queen's Birthday Honours announced on Saturday (12 June). Professor Payne has been recognised for his services to photonics. Professor Payne is an internationally... view more... (2004-06-14)
Chemical Bonding States at Silicon / Silicon Dioxide Interfaces Characterisable with Light
The importance of characterising the atomic structure of the silicon / silicon dioxide interface as an essential component in highly integrated circuits has steadily increased as a result of continuing miniaturisation of silicon chips. The physicists, Dr. Stefan Bergfeld, Bjoern Braunschweig and Prof. Dr. Winfried Daum, Institute of Physics and... view more... (2004-08-26)
Oosight microscope enables embryonic stem cell breakthrough
A noninvasive, polarized light microscope invented at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) played a crucial role in a recent breakthrough in embryonic stem-cell research aimed at developing medical therapies. view more (2007-11-30)
Computing breakthrough could elevate security to unprecedented levels
By using pulses of light to dramatically accelerate quantum computers, University of Michigan researchers have made strides in technology that could foil national and personal security threats. view more (2007-08-17)
Optical vortex could look directly at extrasolar planets
A new optical device might allow astronomers to view extrasolar planets directly without the annoying glare of the parent star. view more (2005-12-01)
Carbon nanotubes that detect disease-causing mutations developed by Pitt researcher
University of Pittsburgh researcher Alexander Star and colleagues at California-based company Nanomix, Inc., have developed devices made of carbon nanotubes that can find mutations in genes causing hereditary diseases. view more (2006-01-26)
'Nanodrop' test tubes created with a flip of a switch
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated a new device that creates nanodroplet "test tubes" for studying individual proteins under conditions that mimic the crowded confines of a living cell. view more (2008-04-16)
New process builds electronic function into optical fiber
Optical fiber helped bring us the Internet, and silicon/germanium devices brought us microelectronics. view more (2006-03-17)
Light turns liquid
LIGHT can be turned into a glowing stream of liquid that splits into droplets and splatters off surfaces just like water. The researchers who`ve worked out how to do this say "liquid light" would be the ideal lifeblood for optical computing, where chips send light around optical "circuits" to process data. Liquid light sounds like a... view more... (2002-07-03)
All done with mirrors: NIST microscope tracks nanoparticles in 3-D
A clever new microscope design allows nanotechnology researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to track the motions of nanoparticles in solution as they dart around in three dimensions. view more (2008-03-11)
Invisibility visualized: German team unveils new software for rendering cloaked objects
Scientists and curiosity seekers who want to know what a partially or completely cloaked object would look like in real life can now get their wish -- virtually. view more (2009-11-13)
Scientists demonstrate all-fibre quantum logic
A team of physicists and engineers have demonstrated all-fibre quantum logic, where single photons are generated and used to perform the contolled-NOT quantum logic gate in optical fibres with high fidelity. view more (2009-05-29)
Optical Solution Revives Hands Free Mobile Telephones
Hands free sets for mobile phones may be on the verge of a big comeback thanks to new research by the University of Warwick. Many people used hands free sets in an attempt to avoid what they perceived as a microwave radiation risk from holding a mobile phone close to one`s head. However when it was pointed out that the standard wire based hands... view more... (2002-09-02)
Measuring in 3-D
Today, complex optical free-form geometries are used primarily in car headlamps and in optics for cameras and digital projectors. These optical components are expensive to manufacture and to test. view more (2008-04-17)
A new 'Pyrex' nanoparticle
Researchers in Switzerland have developed a new method to fabricate borosilicate glass nanoparticles. Used in microfluidic systems, these "Pyrex"-like nanoparticles are more stable when subjected to temperature fluctuations and harsh chemical environments than currently used nanoparticles made of polymers or silica glass. view more (2008-09-08)
