ATLANTA, April 20, 2012 — A new technique can produce single photons with specific properties more efficiently and about 1000 times faster than the current methods, an important advance for several research areas, including quantum information processing and quantum network...
Microplasma arrays promise to revolutionize lighting
ARLINGTON, Va. – A new plasma-based lighting system comprising microcavity arrays produces inexpensive, wafer-thin, flexible sheets of light – and its creators say it will revolutionize illumination. Just as in a fluorescent light, a microcavity array is...
New Lighting Approach Is a Gas
WASHINGTON, Nov. 28, 2011 — Just as in a fluorescent light, a microcavity array (MCA) is energized by an applied voltage. By successfully confining plasma (an ionized gas) in parallel rows of microcavities within thin sheet materials, various implementations of microplasma...
Hybrid graphene films could lead to flexible displays
HOUSTON – Graphene-based electrodes could revolutionize touch-screen displays, LED lighting and solar panels, bringing flexible, transparent electronics closer to reality. The thin films created in the lab of Rice University chemist James Tour combine a...
Superstable laser shines in minivan test
BOULDER, Colo. – Think of the jounces you sometimes feel when riding in a car or a van. Now imagine taking a laser on the road that is sensitive to even minimal vibration. In a step toward making the most advanced atomic clocks more portable, scientists have...
USAF works to improve silicon photonics processes
ARLINGTON, Va. – The US?Air Force Office of Scientific Research announced that it will fund efforts to put silicon photonics within the grasp of scientists and startup companies. The new program will be called OpSIS, short for Optoelectronic Systems Integration in...
Air Force Funds Silicon Photonics Program
ARLINGTON, Va., March 14, 2011 — The US Air Force Office of Scientific Research is funding a program to build inexpensive, next-generation silicon-based electro-optical chips at the University of Washington’s Nanophotonics Lab. The chips are critical to the Air Force...
Laser-made ‘Blast Badge’ Detects Explosion Intensity
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 13, 2010 — Mimicking the reflective iridescence of a butterfly’s wing, investigators at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have developed a color-changing patch that could be worn on...
U of I Physicist Named Packard Fellow
CHAMPAIGN, Ill., Oct. 19, 2010 — Benjamin Lev, physics professor at the University of Illinois, has been named a Packard Fellow in science and engineering. He is among 17 early career researchers honored by the David and Lucille Packard Foundation in 2010 for outstanding creative...
UNL Gains Grant to Expand Laser Research
