Discovery Could Lead to Materials with Brighter, Faster Light Emission
Scientists have discovered why a certain class of nanocrystals — caesium lead halide quantum dots — shines in such bright colors. They have also confirmed that these nanocrystals emit light extremely quickly. Experiments showed that caesium lead halide quantum dots emit light at room temperature after just one nanosecond.

Stellar Nursery Captured By ESO’s OmegaCAM
The OmegaCAM camera on the European South Observatory’s (ESO’s) VLT Survey Telescope has captured a glittering view of the Sharpless 29 stellar nursery. Many astronomical phenomena can be seen in the giant image, including cosmic dust and gas clouds that reflect, absorb and re-emit the light of hot young stars within the nebula.

US Army Research Lab Working on 3D-Printed Drones with Marine Corps
Researchers at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) are working with the Marine Corps to develop 3D-printed drones as materials science, aviation technology and software development merge to deliver new capabilities. Additive manufacturing is a viable way to produce mission-essential parts or equipment at the point of need, said ARL engineer Larry Holmes Jr.

By a Stretch: Making Femtosecond Laser Design and Manufacturing Simpler, Leaner and Cheaper
By a Stretch: Making Femtosecond Laser Design and Manufacturing Simpler, Leaner and Cheaper
Tue, Jan 23, 2018 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST
Next-gen ultrafast lasers will be cheap, compact, robust and versatile. How does your laser measure up? This webinar will discuss challenges in femtosecond laser design and manufacturing, such as femtosecond pulse management and optics alignment, and explore promising new volume market opportunities. It will highlight how designing a simpler and more versatile laser, specifically at the stretching-compressor stage, will be key to lowering costs and thriving in the competitive ultrafast laser landscape. Presented by TeraXion.
