LEDs top almost every other illuminant in lifetime and performance, but also in production costs. This is where molded interconnect devices come in, offering considerable freedom for the arrangement of LEDs and more efficient production with cost-saving potential. LEDs provide the backlighting for LCDs, give cars their brand-specific lighting design, and illuminate, e.g., an outfield, without significant light pollution. What counts is long-term stability, low power requirements, low construction depth and a possible lifetime of some 10,000 hours.

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.

Crystals Set in Motion by UV Light
Tiny crystals of a cobalt coordination compound leap, twirl and burst apart like popcorn when exposed to UV light. A team led by researchers at the National University of Singapore suggests the microscopic phenomenon could find macroscopic applications turning sunlight into mechanical energy.
