Device Employs Structural Color to Image Ambient Gases
TSUKUBA, Japan, Dec. 22, 2022 — Researchers from the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS, Japan), Harvard University, and the University of Connecticut jointly designed and fabricated a simple device developed for imaging a gas injected into it — in multiple colors and in accordance with its gaseous properties — enabling chromatic discrimination of different gases. The device converts the pressure generated by an injected gas into structural color, thereby “imaging” it. The
Light-Activated Material Could Enable Heliotropic Solar Cells
MEDFORD, Mass., March 17, 2021 — Light-activated composite devices developed by Tufts University researchers were shown in testing to execute precise visible movements and form complex 3D shapes. The materials performed without wires or other actuating materials or energy sources....
Flexible Parylene Waveguide Operates Over Broad Spectrum
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 23, 2020 — A parylene-based waveguide has the physical characteristics necessary to enable it to emerge as the new standard in optical biointerfaces. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University developed the highly flexible waveguide, which can additionally...
Researchers Use Lasers to Cheaply, Easily Fabricate Bioelectronics
CHICAGO, Sept. 8, 2020 — Researchers from the University of Chicago have found an easy, inexpensive, and scalable method for fabricating bioelectronics components using lasers. The technology has potential for use in medical applications, such as in pacemakers. The process...
Wafer-Level Optics Enable Small-Form Photonic Sensors
Jan 6, 2020 — For many years, innovations in sensors for mass markets such as automotive, gaming, and consumer electronics have been driven by the microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) industry. MEMS-based sensors are well known to provide solutions for a...
Low-Power Laser Etching May Speed Lab-On-A-Chip Fabrication
MEXICO CITY, April 18, 2017 — A novel method for fabricating poly-dimethylsiloxane (PDMS) waveguides using low-power laser etching could make it easier and less expensive to incorporate optical sensing onto lab-on-a-chip devices. The PDMS waveguides can be easily integrated into...
Optical Invisibility Cloak Ideal for Diffusive Media
KARLSRUHE, Germany, June 9, 2014 — A new invisibility cloak technology conceals objects in diffusive media such as fog, clouds or frosted glass. Optical cloaks have been challenging to achieve for all situations; most only work at specific colors or polarizations, or from very...
New Detector Harnesses THz Light Efficiently
ANN ARBOR, Mich., May 20, 2014 — A new take on traditional gauges and imaging systems could more efficiently harness THz frequencies that have long eluded detectors.
Simple Lens-Making Method Turns Phones into Dermascopes
CANBERRA, Austalia, April 25, 2014 — High-resolution silicon polymer lenses can be baked in conventional ovens and attached to smartphones to make an inexpensive microscope.
New Approach to Creating Flexible Waveguides
AMES, Iowa, Feb. 24, 2014 — Creating flexible optical waveguides has long been a challenge, as it requires the self-contradicting task of shaping a highly soft material into thin and long structures that are also self-sustaining. A new fabrication technique developed by...
Optical Circuit Uses Stretchable Interconnections
GHENT, Belgium, Feb. 20, 2014 — The first optical circuit to use stretchable, bendable interconnections could be in the pipeline, following years of difficulty with such applications.
Quantum Dots Set to Permeate the Next Generation of Displays
May 1, 2011 — A veritable explosion of display-centric devices – new cell phones, handheld games, tablet computers and televisions in a multitude of sizes and dimensionality (2-D, 3-D … n-D!) is coming. Spurred on by ecologically minded consumers...
Using SBIRs as a Platform for Success
May 1, 2011 — Perseverance is the most important factor in garnering a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) award, according to Brimrose Corp.’s founder and CEO. And he should know. In 1984, Dr. Ron Rosemeier found himself at the end of his postdoc...
The season of sun, sand . . . and nanoparticles?
Jun 7, 2010 — There is no doubt that natural, unfiltered sunlight is a primal force. It charges ions in the atmosphere, providing iridescent fireworks known as the polar lights. It warms the seas and churns the air, providing weather. It feeds plants via...
The ins and outs of adjustable microlenses
CHANGCHUN, China – Adjustable microlenses now have a new knob that can be turned, courtesy of a research team led by Yanchun Han of Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry. The group demonstrated two new types of variable-focus liquid microlenses, one constructed...
