Researchers Demonstrate Ultrafast Conversion of Light into Electricity A team from Kiel University (CAU) filmed the conversion of light energy into a solid — an exchange that takes place in a matter of femtoseconds (fs) — using an ultrafast camera system developed by the researchers. The team was able to observe the energy exchange of the electrons with their environment in real time and distinguish individual phases.
Photochemical Deracemization of Chiral Compounds Assists Drug Development Deploying a photochemical method, a team from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has achieved deracemization of chiral compounds for use in biology and medicine. The advance could make it...

Medical Lasers Find Biophotonics Niche Because lasers can offer less-invasive procedures for both diagnosis and treatment, their role in the medical field is on the rise. Lasers can be modulated in wavelength, power, density, and energy, and they have a wide range of applications in ophthalmology, lithotripsy, and oncology as well as in dermatologic and cosmetic procedures (Figure 1a). With slight modifications of the system, the same...
