University of California Berkeley News
E-Skin Lights Up at a Touch
BERKELEY, Calif., July 22, 2013 — A user-interactive sensor network on flexible plastic could help robots become more touchy-feely, literally, enabling a new form of human-machine interaction.
Microactuator flexes under laser light
BERKELEY, Calif. – A microscale actuator that flexes like a tiny beckoning finger under a burst of laser light may point toward practical applications in artificial muscles, microfluidics and drug delivery. The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab)...
OSA Recognizes Chu as Advocate of Optics
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11, 2013 — US Secretary of Energy Steven Chu is The Optical Society’s 2013 Advocate of Optics. He was recognized at a reception as part of OSA’s annual two-day Leadership Conference in Washington.
Microactuator Flexes Under Laser Light
BERKELEY, Calif., Dec. 17, 2012 — A microscale actuator that flexes like a tiny beckoning finger under a burst of laser light may point toward practical applications in artificial muscles, microfluidics and drug delivery.
W.M. Keck Foundation Grants $1M for Biomedical Research
PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 14, 2012 — Oregon Health & Science University’s Knight Cancer Institute has secured a $1 million grant to develop microscopy technology to advance biomedical research.
Nobel Prize in physics recognizes quantum-world experiments
STOCKHOLM – Two independent but related quantum optics methods for measuring and manipulating individual particles while preserving their quantum mechanical nature have been recognized by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences with the 2012 Nobel Prize in...
Quantum optics work wins physics Nobel
STOCKHOLM – Separate but related quantum optics technologies – ions in a harmonic trap and photons in a cavity – that allow the measurement and control of individual quantum systems were recognized by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences with the...
Stuart Freedman, Renowned Nuclear Physicist, Dies
BERKELEY, Calif., Nov. 21, 2012 — Stuart Freedman, an investigator of fundamental physical laws and a nuclear physicist with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California, Berkeley, died unexpectedly Nov. 9 while attending a conference in Santa Fe, N.M. He...
Single-Cell Imaging Clarifies How Cells Tell Time
COLUMBUS, Ohio, and MONTREAL, Nov. 19, 2012 — A new imaging approach offers the first real-time visual evidence of how cells know when to enter the next phase of their development.
New Solar Research Facility Breaks Ground
BERKELEY, Calif., Oct. 29, 2012 — Construction has begun on a 40,000-sq-ft solar energy research facility at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory that will aid in the quest for alternative fuels from sunlight.
Quantum Optics Work Wins Physics Nobel
STOCKHOLM, Oct. 9, 2012 — Separate but related quantum optics technologies — ions in a harmonic trap and photons in a cavity — that allow the measurement and control of individual quantum systems were recognized Tuesday by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences...
Computer chips made rewritable with light
NEW YORK – A technique for making rewritable computer chips uses laser light to control the spin of an atom’s nucleus to encode information, bringing ultrafast quantum computing a step closer to reality. Current electronic devices, which are approaching...
New class of 3-D optical cavities demonstrated
BERKELEY, Calif. – Nanoscale three-dimensional optical cavities made from metamaterials can generate the most powerful nanolaser beams to date. This new class of optical cavities, with remarkable electromagnetic properties, holds promise for a variety of other...
Quantum Effects Observed in Optomechanical System
BERKELEY, Calif., Aug. 21, 2012 — The first direct observations of distinctly quantum optical effects — amplification and squeezing — have been recorded in an optomechanical system. The step forward points the way to low-power quantum optical devices and enhanced...
Laser ARPES helps explain superconductivity
BERKELEY, Calif. — A new ultrafast laser angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) technique may soon help scientists realize some of the biggest obstacles to the electronic states of high-temperature superconductors so that they may one day put these...
PVs Enabled from Any Semiconductor
BERKELEY, Calif., July 31, 2012 — A technology that improves the photovoltaic qualities of virtually any semiconductor could lead to the use of plentiful, relatively inexpensive materials that once were considered unsuitable for solar cells because their properties were so difficult...
Photonics to Drive Investment Boost in Advanced Manufacturing
BELLINGHAM, Wash., July 25, 2012 — Photonics technologies are already key enablers of advanced manufacturing, and new initiatives to boost the US’s capabilities in that area will be a good use of the country’s photonics R&D, leaders of SPIE, the international society...
NIF’s 500-TW Laser Shot Sets Record
LIVERMORE, Calif., July 17, 2012 — The National Ignition Facility’s 192-beam laser system delivered a record-breaking 500 TW of peak power and 1.85 MJ of ultraviolet laser light to its target, validating laser performance specifications set at the facility in the late 1990s.
LED-like solar cell absorbs, emits light
Jul 1, 2012 — A new solar cell designed to be more like an LED, able to emit light as well as absorb it, could achieve efficiencies close to 30 percent. Typical solar cells theoretically can harvest about 33.5 percent of energy from sunlight, but scientists have...
3-D Optical Cavities Made from Metamaterials
BERKELEY, Calif., June 27, 2012 — Three-dimensional nanoscale optical cavities made from metamaterials have the potential to generate the most intense nanolaser beams to date and hold promise for a range of other technologies, including LEDs, optical sensing, nonlinear optics,...
Computer Chips Made Rewritable with Light
NEW YORK, June 27, 2012 — A new technique for making rewritable computer chips uses laser light to control the spin of an atom’s nucleus to encode information, bringing ultrafast quantum computing a step closer to reality.
NASA’s Black-Hole Hunter Begins Mission
WASHINGTON, June 15, 2012 — The first telescope capable of focusing high-energy x-rays to image black holes and other celestial phenomena in never-before-seen ways was launched Wednesday, NASA officials said.
Laser ARPES Helps Explain Superconductivity
BERKELEY, Calif., June 4, 2012 — A new ultrafast laser angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) technique may soon help scientists realize some of the biggest obstacles to the electronic states of high-temperatures superconductors so that they may one day put these...
Lidar Maps Faults Near Lake Tahoe
CARNELIAN BAY, Calif., May 25, 2012 — Faults west of Lake Tahoe, Calif., now pose a substantial increase in the seismic hazard assessment and potentially could generate earthquakes with magnitudes ranging from 6.3 to 6.9, according to a new US Geological Survey study.
