Smart Optics Faraday Partnership announces £1M funding opportunity for flagship projects.
Companies in the aerospace, healthcare, telecoms and optics industries are set to benefit under a £1M call for collaborative project proposals announced by the new Smart Optics Faraday Partnership ("SmartOptics"), sponsored by the DTI, PPARC and EPSRC. Applications for significant "flagship" projects are now sought. These will... view more... (2001-11-16)
New research field promises radical advances in optical technologies
A new research field called transformation optics may usher in a host of radical advances including a cloak of invisibility and ultra-powerful microscopes and computers by harnessing nanotechnology and "metamaterials." view more (2008-10-17)
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)
Sight for sore eyes
An inventive breakthrough from the Applied Optics Group at the University of Kent at Canterbury (UKC) is set to revolutionise current methods of eye examinations. Professor David Jackson, Dr Adrian Podoleanu and Dr John Rogers, who gained his doctorate at Kent, have developed an instrument known as an Optical Dual Channel Tomograph. The instrument... view more... (2002-03-13)
Institute of Physics buys Optics.Org
The International Society for Optical Engineering (SPIE) and Institute of Physics today announce the full acquisition of the Joint Venture company Optics.Org Ltd by Institute of Physics Publishing (IoPP). Optics.Org has made great strides under the Joint Venture agreement between SPIE and IoPP signed in 1998, including the launch of the successful... view more... (2000-11-23)
Radiologists use special MRI to identify brain cancer early
A special type of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can depict changes in blood volume in the brain that often precede cancerous transformation of brain tumors, according to a new study published in the April issue of the journal Radiology. view more (2008-03-25)
New 'broadband' cloaking technology simple to manufacture
Researchers have created a new type of invisibility cloak that is simpler than previous designs and works for all colors of the visible spectrum, making it possible to cloak larger objects than before and possibly leading to practical applications in "transformation optics." view more (2009-05-21)
MU Researcher Investigates the Basis of Einstein's First Approximation in the Theory of Relativity
In his discussion of accelerated motion on page 60 of The Meaning of Relativity, Albert Einstein made an approximation that allowed him to develop the theory of relativity further. view more (2009-07-16)
Light at the speed of a bicycle and much more
The speed of light, 300 million metres per second, was long thought an immutable constant and has defined our understanding of matter and energy but recent research in the area of optics and photonics is proving that we can manipulate light to some ingenious and hugely lucrative ends. view more (2009-09-09)
Breakthrough in computer chip design eliminates wires in data transmission
Research slated to appear in the October 2 edition of the Optical Society of America's (OSA) Optics Express will unveil that researchers have created a new laser-silicon hybrid computer chip that can produce laser beams that will make it possible to use laser light rather than wires to send data between chips, removing the most significant... view more...

The Green (and blue, red, and white) lights of the future
A revolution in energy-efficient, environmentally-sound, and powerfully-flexible lighting is coming to businesses and homes, according to a paper in latest special energy issue of Optics Express, the Optical Society's (OSA) open-access journal. view more (2008-12-17)
On airplanes, fiber optics poised to reach new heights
In an effort to provide safer and more reliable components for aircraft, researchers have invented an optical on-off switch that can replace electrical wiring on airplanes with fiber optics for controlling elevators, rudders, and other flight-critical elements. view more (2006-09-19)
Invisibility undone
Harry Potter beware! A team of Chinese scientists has developed a way to unmask your invisibility cloak. According to a new paper in the latest issue of Optics Express, the Optical Society's (OSA) open-access journal, certain materials underneath an invisibility cloak would allow invisible objects be seen again. view more (2008-09-03)
Adaptive optics leads the way to supermassive black holes
Astronomers have discovered the exact location and makeup of a pair of supermassive black holes at the center of a collision of two galaxies more than 300 million light years away. view more (2007-05-18)
