Quantum Signatures of Chaos
TUCSON, Ariz., Oct. 9, 2009 – No one has produced experimental evidence that chaos occurs in the quantum world – the world of photons, atoms, molecules and their building blocks – until now. In a series of experiments, professor Poul Jessen and a group at the University of...
UV Curing Makes Inroads into PV Materials
Oct 9, 2009 — UV curing of polymers is well-known for many applications, including wood coatings, graphic arts, electronics and optics. In the photovoltaics (PV) industry, however, with some notable exceptions, UV curing has not been accepted commercially because...
360º IR Sensor Flown on UAS
Oct 8, 2009 — Lockheed Martin of Bethesda, Md., has announced that it has successfully tested a new infrared sensor turret aboard its Desert Hawk III unmanned aircraft system (UAS), marking the first time a small UAS has flown with a 360° IR sensor. According to...
Machine Mimics Human Vision
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. Oct. 8, 2009 – Human vision is designed to look at the rough outlines of the various objects before examining the details. This improves the speed and accuracy of our image recognition, while machine vision typically performs the task in the opposite manner.
Seeing Inside a Living Cell
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 8, 2009 – Electron microscopes are the most powerful type of microscope, capable of distinguishing even individual atoms. However, these microscopes cannot be used to image living cells because the electrons destroy the samples. Now, MIT assistant...
