FEATURES
Moving Raman Spectroscopy into the Clinic Raman spectroscopy’s molecular sensitivity makes it promising for clinical applications: It can identify pathogens much faster than current methods, investigate circulating tumor cells, help surgeons distinguish tumors from healthy tissue and identify the chemical nature of cardiovascular plaques and evaluate their severity. Today’s aging population presents a great challenge:...
Next-Gen LED Lamps Bring Costs Down LEDs top almost every other illuminant in lifetime and performance, but – unfortunately – also in production costs. This is where molded interconnect devices come in, offering...
Optodigital Microscopy Enhances Efficiency of Material Testing Automated microscopes can help speed up the industrial quality-control process, saving time and money. Time is money when it comes to industrial work flows, and efficiency is a key priority. This is...
EDITORIAL
Theory to Application: Photonics in Action The subject matter of the many reports and articles in this issue ranges from how to more efficiently produce LED lamps to make them more attractive to consumers to producing nanolasers from imperfect nanostructures; and from fabricating nanosensors on CDs for use in bio sample studies, to incorporating a photoswitchable molecule into an antibiotic and using light to control the drug’s...

Elusive Solar Light-Trapping Limit Nearly Reached The theoretical limit of light-trapping in solar cells has eluded researchers for decades. But a group from Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) has come closer to it than anyone else. The researchers, members of TU Delft’s Photovoltaic Materials and Devices (PVMD) group, have experimentally demonstrated the theoretical limit of the enhancement of light absorption using an advanced...

PICTURE THIS
Uncovering a 50-million-year-old mystery When prehistoric organisms conspire with time and sediment to preserve a piece of nature’s skeleton, it’s something to gawk at: Fossils are lifted from their thousand-, million- or even billion-year respites to meet the public’s observing eyes and the investigative techniques of scientists. And although plants’ chemistry can be preserved over hundreds of millions of years,...
