Infrared Hologram Device Achieves New Optical Properties
Australian National University (ANU) physicists have invented a tiny device that creates the highest quality holographic images ever achieved, opening the door to imaging technologies often seen in science fiction movies. Holograms perform the most complex manipulations of light. They enable the storing and reproduction of all information carried by light in 3D.

Liquid Lens Paired With Infrared Light and a Smartphone Creates Smart Glasses
Liquid Lens Paired With Infrared Light and a Smartphone Creates Smart Glasses
Liquid-based lenses that automatically focus on what a person is seeing could replace reading glasses and bifocals in the near future. The human eye has a lens inside that adjusts the focal depth depending on what is being viewed. But as people age, the lens loses its ability to change focus, which is why many people ultimately require reading glasses or bifocals to see objects up close, and regular eyeglasses to see far away.

Remote Sensing Data Helps Scientists Measure Biodiversity
Remote Sensing Data Helps Scientists Measure Biodiversity
Remote sensing methods, which have been used to measure biological diversity for about 30 years, show even greater potential for assisting biodiversity research in the future. A key task of this research is to record the current state of diversity, study processes within ecosystems and identify possible changes.

Computer Tomography, Volumetric Imaging Reveal Details of Ancient Past
Computer tomography (CT) scanning and volumetric visualization have been used to create a 3D display of the Gebelein Man, a 5,500 year-old natural mummy buried during the late pre-dynastic period at the site of Gebelein in Upper Egypt. Visitors to the Early Egypt Gallery at the British Museum can now interact with this display, even performing a virtual biopsy on the Gebelein Man in real time with the touch of a hand.

Characterizing Photonics Devices with Transmission Electron Microscopy
Characterizing Photonics Devices with Transmission Electron Microscopy
Fri, Feb 10, 2017 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST
Brookhaven's Eric Stach will talk about the ways that TEM can be used to take images of the structure of photonics devices at the Angstrom to micron scale; how diffraction can be used to characterize crystal structure; and more. Throughout his presentation he will draw on examples of applications issues from current literature, using them to share his own understanding and approach to these issues.
