nQuire software brings science to life for youth
NOTTINGHAM, UK — A software tool kit encourages students to ask questions and look for deeper reasons behind observations, helping them to think and act like real science investigators. The new approach could spark and sustain interest in science and lead today's youth to choose careers in photonics and other scientific fields. The new software, called nQuire, was developed by researchers at Nottingham and The Open universities and was funded by the Economic and Social Research Council and the Engineering...

Photonics HyperHighway Could Make Internet 100 Times Faster
SOUTHAMPTON, England, Feb. 16, 2011 — Broadband Internet in the UK could become 100 times faster under the University of Southampton's six-year Photonics HyperHighway project, which recently received a major infusion of government funding. Photonics HyperHighway will team scientists...
‘Space-time’ Cloak Could Hide History
LONDON, Nov. 17, 2010 — Theoretical physicists have taken the idea of creating an invisibility cloak and broadened it to include the object’s movement. Such a "space-time cloak" could be used to hide events, they suggest. Previously a team led by professor Sir John...
Robo-weasel could sniff out contraband
SHEFFIELD, UK – A sophisticated robot with a suite of laser and fiber optic-based sensors is being developed to detect illicit substances concealed in cargo containers at airports and seaports. The 30-cm-long robot, dubbed the “cargo-screening ferret,” would be...
UK, China Fund Spintronics Study
Jul 2, 2009 — A team of researchers from the University of Surrey and two other institutions have been awarded a grant of around £430,000 (about $704,000) to develop prototype ultrasmall-scale silicon structures for "spintronic" semiconductors. Jointly awarded by...
4 Photons Controlled on Chip
BRISTOL, UK, June 9, 2009 – A team of physicists and engineers at the University of Bristol Centre for Quantum Photonics has demonstrated the ultraprecise manipulation skills needed to make a major advance toward quantum technologies by precisely controlling four photons on a...
A New Breed of Tunable Lasers
Apr 30, 2009 — A new technology using liquid crystals in concert with a single, laser-based light source is spawning a new breed of low cost, reliable and extremely useful tunable lasers. Liquid crystal (LC) lasers offer unprecedented depths of color resolution...
Spray-On Solar Cells Pursued
WARWICK, UK, March 18, 2009 – Creating solar cells you can wear, fold, and bend -- and even spray onto surfaces -- is the goal of a four-year research program set to begin next month under a consortium of eight UK universities.
Device Filters Photons
BRISTOL, UK, Jan. 23, 2009 – Quantum technologies just got a boost from a recent demonstration of an optical device that filters two particles of light (photons) based on the correlations between their polarization that are allowed only in the quantum world. This...
