Superparticles Shaped from Nanorods
GAINESVILLE, Fla., Oct. 23, 2012 — A new technique for growing complex superparticles from self-assembling nanorods could create a new generation of polarized LEDs.
Dopant Breaks Graphene Solar Efficiency Record
GAINESVILLE, Fla., May 25, 2012 — Chemically treated graphene has upped the material’s solar power conversion efficiency from 2.9 percent to a record-breaking 8.6 percent. Researchers at the University of Florida have taken graphene, a single-atom-thick lattice of carbon...
Pulsed Light Reduces Allergens in Peanuts
GAINESVILLE, Fla., June 15, 2011 — Pulsed UV light can reduce the allergenic potential of peanuts by up to 90 percent, a discovery that may help make food safer for people with nut allergies. The concentrated bursts of light, known as PUV, changes peanut allergens so that human...
Night vision: There’s an app for that
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – A paper-thin device that uses energy-efficient organic LED technology similar to that found in flat-screen TV and laptop computer screens soon could be made into a night vision application for cell phone cameras. “Really, this is a very...
Lantis Laser, Perio-Imaging to Merge
DENVILLE, N.J., June 18, 2010 — Lantis Laser Inc. announced it will merge with Perio-Imaging Inc., a private New York-based company that makes an ultrasongographic periodontal probe system. The merger would be an all-stock transaction. The name of the new company will be announced...
Igniting a few good ideas with fullerenes
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – A standard TV trope is the fuse made of a strand of gunpowder slowly burning while heading toward a pile of powder kegs and bundles of dynamite. This fire-starting scenario does, in fact, work, although nobody really does it that way. However,...
New Cell Phone App: Night Vision
GAINESVILLE, Fla., May 7, 2010 — A University of Florida engineer has crafted a nickel-sized imaging device for night vision that uses organic LED technology similar to that found in cell phone or laptop screens. But unlike night vision goggles, which are heavy and expensive, the...
NSF-Supported Center Moves to Houston
HOUSTON, April 16, 2010 — The National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping (NCALM), supported by the National Science Foundation, has relocated operations to the University of Houston (UH) from the University of Florida. Researchers with the National Center for Airborne Laser...
Weak Laser Ignites Nanoparticles
GAINESVILLE, Fla., April 6, 2010 — Using a low-power laser engineering researchers have found they can ignite certain nanoparticles, a development they say opens the door to a wave of new technologies in health care, computing and automotive design. University of...
Sensor Creates Glucose Breathalyzer
GAINESVILLE, Fla., Jan. 25, 2010 – A new biomedical sensor could provide fresh, inexpensive diagnosis and treatment methods for people suffering from a variety of diseases. University of Florida engineers have d...
Laser ‘Tattooed’ Fruit Label
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3, 2009 – Those small and sometimes inconvenient sticky labels on produce may eventually be replaced by laser etching, a new technology being tested by the Agricultural Research Service and University of Florida that puts tattooes on grapefruit and other...
FBI Probes NASA Theft
GAINESVILLE, Fla., March 3, 2009 – The FBI searched the office of Samim Anghaie, a scientist at the University of Florida (UF), amid a probe alleging that he and his family stole “hundreds of thousands of dollars of illegally obtained government funds” from NASA, according to media...
Blue OLEDs Improved
GAINESVILLE, Fla., Dec. 31, 2008 -- By setting an efficiency record for blue organic LEDs (OLEDs), researchers say they are closer to flipping the switch on cheaper, richer LED-type room lighting. University of Florida materials science engineers have announced a record for blue...
1st Light is Big Step for UF
GAINESVILLE, Fla., July 13, 2007 -- The opening of the world’s largest telescope will usher the University of Florida (UF) into the top ranks of the “big observers,” said one astronomy professor. A “first light” opening ceremony of the Gran Telescopio Canarias, or GTC -- under...
Double Qdots Control Kondo Effect
ATHENS, Ohio, Sept. 15, 2006 -- Two quantum dots connected by wires could help scientists better control the Kondo effect in experiments and could lead to a better understanding of structures such as superconductors, according to a new study. The Kondo effect occurs when...
Dual-Luminophore Paint Detects Pressure and Temperature
Dec 1, 2005 — Wind tunnels, University of Florida, dual-sensor film that measures pressure and temperature simultaneously. And the approach could be applied elsewhere. “The methods are widely applicable to any application that uses luminescence to determine a...
Fluorescent DNA Could Detect Cancer Early, UF & Columbia Researchers Say
Nov 30, 2005 — GAINESVILLE, Fla., & NEW YORK, Nov. 30 —- University of Florida and Columbia University researchers say they are a step closer to a technique to easily detect a wide variety of cancers before symptoms become apparent. The findings involve...
Florida High-Tech Corridor Expands
Jan 4, 2005 — ORLANDO, Fla., Jan. 4 -- The University of Florida (UF) has joined the Florida High Tech Corridor Council, an economic development initiative founded in 1996 by the University of Central Florida and the University of South Florida to increase the...
