Artificial sight
An engineering team at the University of Dundee has just secured funding to work with European colleagues on the construction of artificial corneas which will allow all cornea replacements to go ahead without the patient having to wait for a donor. The Euro 2.4m project will help people who suffer... view more (2004-06-03)

Looking at neurons from all sides
A new technique that marries a fast-moving laser beam with a special microscope that look at tissues in different optical planes will enable scientists to get a three-dimensional view of neurons or nerve cells as they interact, said Baylor College of Medicine scientists in a report that appears... view more (2008-04-28)

With double frequency to deeper blue
Light transports data at high speed over fibre-optic networks. Light measures and creates images of large and small objects in scanners and microscopes. Light writes information onto all sorts of recording media and surfaces. The best-quality light is produced by lasers, which have meanwhile become... view more (2003-07-01)

A precision metal-cutting tool for use in automated high volume manufacturing
Cutting high-thickness metal sheets is a basic manufacturing process common to a wide range of industrial sectors, from heavy carpentry to ship-building. Laser-cutting technology ought, in theory, to have significant advantages over traditional cutting processes, among them high cutting speed, no... view more (2004-02-05)

Sharper pictures for the dream factory
Computer-generated special effects are a staple of contemporary film production. Digital images introduce complications, however, once it comes to projecting them onto movie screens in high quality. The majority of projectors still work with standard 35 mm film, which means that digital image... view more (2002-11-14)

No Justification For Early Laser Treatment Of Uncomplicated Childhood Haemangiomas (pp 502, 521)
Early laser treatment of uncomplicated childhood haemangiomas (strawberry birthmarks) is no more beneficial than no intervention, conclude authors of a UK study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Childhood haemangiomas-the most common soft tissue tumours of infancy-occur in around 10% of children... view more (2002-08-14)

Gold Nanorods May Make Safer Cancer Treatment
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of California, San Francisco, have found an even more effective and safer way to detect and kill cancer cells.   view more (2006-03-14)

Lighting up paper
Researchers have developed a sophisticated way of measuring the print quality of paper. The work, published today in the Institute of Physics journal, Measurement Science and Technology, describes how Jari Palviainen and colleagues at the Universities of Joensuu and Oulu in Finland, use what is... view more (2002-02-27)

Chemistry & Industry - 3 June Issue
NEWS Hydrogen is the fuel of the future says Johnson Matthey's CEO (page 4) Christopher Clark, chief executive of Johnson Matthey, warned that the world needs to change from carbon to hydrogen as its major energy source in the next decades, as the effects of global warming become more apparent.... view more (2002-05-30)

Quantum biology — Powerful computer models reveal key biological mechanism
Using powerful computers to model the intricate dance of atoms and molecules, researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have revealed the mechanism behind an important biological reaction.   view more (2007-01-17)

Physicists create millimeter-sized 'Bohr atom'
Nearly a century after Danish physicist Niels Bohr offered his planet-like model of the hydrogen atom, a Rice University-led team of physicists has created giant, millimeter-sized atoms that resemble it more closely than any other experimental realization yet achieved.   view more (2008-07-01)

New Unified Force Theory Predicts Measured Values of Physics
David Thomson and Jim Bourassa of the Quantum AetherDynamics Institute (QADI) released a new theory which mathematically predicts and explains the measured values of physics with striking precision. Their Aether Physics Model includes the "Holy Grail" of physics sought by Albert Einstein;... view more (2006-06-05)

Quantum chaos unveiled?
A University of Utah study is shedding light on an important, unsolved physics problem: the relationship between chaos theory - which is based on 300-year-old Newtonian physics - and the modern theory of quantum mechanics.   view more (2008-08-07)

Max Planck researchers channel microcapsules into tumour cells and release their contents using a laser impulse
Treating malignant tumours is difficult. Doctors have to destroy the tumour, but healthy tissue needs to be preserved. Chemotherapy tends to kill diseased cells, at the same time causing great damage to the body in general.   view more (2006-08-24)

SU Professor Works With International Researchers to Make Quantum Physics Discovery
John F. DiTusa, professor of physics and astronomy at LSU, and his international colleagues have discovered an unusual magnetic material that behaves very differently from the average refrigerator magnet.    view more (2007-07-30)

Quantized heat conduction by photons observed
In a recent experiment, to be published in Nature on November 9, Dr Matthias Meschke and professor Jukka Pekola, together with Dr Wiebke Guichard, a coworker from French CNRS, investigated heat exchange between two small pieces of normal metal, connected to each other only via superconducting... view more (2006-11-10)

Laser triggers electrical activity in thunderstorm for the first time
A team of European scientists has deliberately triggered electrical activity in thunderclouds for the first time, according to a new paper in the latest issue of Optics Express, the Optical Society's (OSA) open-access journal. They did this by aiming high-power pulses of laser light into a... view more (2008-04-14)

Promising early evidence of the superior benefits of drug therapy for diabetic eye disease
A JDRF collaboration between Johns Hopkins researchers and Genentech has shown that a drug for the treatment of diabetic eye disease has performed better in clinical trials than the current standard treatment using laser surgery.   view more (2008-04-30)

Tackling brake noise
The squeal of brakes is not just irritating and annoying, it damages cars and railway wheel squeal is a serious environmental concern, contributing significantly to inner city noise pollution.

Can a laser scanner drive a car?
A car that navigates city streets without a driver - steered only by a computer? That might seem impossible to many. But researchers from Fraunhofer and the FU Berlin are presenting such an automated vehicle at this year's Hannover Messe on April 21 through 25, 2008 (Hall 25, Stand H25). Its core... view more (2008-04-02)
