Sensor Detects Buried Objects from Moving Vehicle
Sensor Detects Buried Objects from Moving Vehicle
A new laser-based sensor, developed by a team at the University of Mississippi, can detect buried objects such as land mines even while the detector is in motion. The new device provides detection capabilities comparable to laser Doppler vibrometers (LDVs), but is less sensitive to motion, allowing it to be used aboard a moving vehicle.

Bruker Nano Surfaces - Vutara Super-Resolution Microscopy Vutara Super-Resolution Microscopy

Bruker Nano Surfaces
Based on single-molecule localization techniques (PALM, STORM, etc.), Vutara 352 enables quantitative imaging at the nanoscale. With SRX software and its Quantitative Localization Microscopy (QLM) analysis suite, Vutara 352 can provide visual and quantitative information from biological samples. Frame rates up to 3000 fps allow data to be collected from live samples and perform time based measurements.

High-Performance Organic Photovoltaic Cells for Indoor Use
High-Performance Organic Photovoltaic Cells for Indoor Use
Scientists from Linköping University, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the University of Science and Technology Beijing have developed organic solar cells that can convert ambient indoor light to electricity. Although the power produced by the solar cells is low, the researchers believe it could be enough power to support the many products that the Internet of Things will bring online.

Mid-Infrared Materials and Devices on a Silicon Platform: Sensors, Detectors, and Imagers
Mid-Infrared Materials and Devices on a Silicon Platform: Sensors, Detectors, and Imagers
Tue, Oct 1, 2019 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
In this talk, Anuradha (Anu) Agarwal, Ph.D., a principal research scientist at MIT, will review her group's work in the field of integrated photonics enabled by thermally evaporated chalcogenide materials. She will discuss her group’s development of mid-IR transparent chalcogenide waveguide spirals integrated with mid-IR absorbing polycrystalline PbTe detectors for optical sensing on a monolithic silicon platform. She will also discuss her group’s development of a universal design theory for multispectral detection in imaging applications, and her group’s demonstration of fully functional mid-IR resonant-cavity-enhanced (RCE) photodetectors monolithically integrated with Si ROICs.
