Targeted Spectroscopy Can Improve Treatment of Eye Disease
EDMONTON, Canada, Jan. 5, 2024 — A targeted spectroscopy system developed at Zilia Inc., by a team led by professor Dominic Sauvageau from the University of Alberta, enables concurrent imaging of the eye fundus — a region at the back of the eye — and analysis of...
Researchers Propose Lossless Nano-Optical Cables
EDMONTON, Alberta, Canada, Aug. 21, 2014 — New research proposes lossless nano-optical fibers small enough to replace copper wiring in computer chips. “We’re already transmitting data from continent to continent using fiber optics, but the killer application is using this inside...
Molecular Movies Enhance Bioimaging, Health Research
CORVALLIS, Ore., and EDMONTON, Alberta, Canada, July 2, 2014 — While they won’t be hitting the red carpet anytime soon, bioimaging and health research are becoming molecular movie stars. A team from Oregon State University and the University of Alberta has created a biosensor imaging system that allows...
THz Pulses Damage DNA, Yet Induce Repair
EDMONTON, Alberta, Canada, March 14, 2013 — New research on lab-grown human skin suggests that short, powerful bursts of THz radiation may damage DNA, but also increase the production of proteins that help the body fight cancer.
QDs Are Entering the Mainstream
Feb 1, 2013 — Since their discovery in the 1980s, quantum dots have been quietly gaining momentum, making slow but steady headway in applications from displays and lighting to photovoltaics and health care. Unique and versatile, quantum dots (QDs) are no longer...
Plasmonics, Nanophotonics Hybrid Promises Powerful Information Processing
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., Nov. 1, 2011 — Metamaterials and the merging of two technologies under development are promising the emergence of new quantum information systems far more powerful than today’s computers. The technology, which involves a plasmonics and nanophotonics hybrid,...
Hitachi Electron Microscopy Products Centre Opens
EDMONTON, Alberta, Canada, July 21, 2011 — The official opening of the Hitachi Electron Microscopy Products Centre (HEMiC) is providing access to a uniquely configured transmission electron microscope, the first of its kind outside of Japan. Installed at the National Institute for...
Optofluidics and the Real World: Technologies Evolve to Meet 21st Century Challenges
Jun 1, 2011 — “We are very good at developing novel optofluidic devices for research demonstrations; the challenges lie in transitioning these devices into commercially viable products.” – Arthur Nitkowski, Cornell University Optofluidics is a...
Plastic Solar Cells Gain Longevity
EDMONTON, Alberta, Canada, June 22, 2010 — A team of researchers from the University of Alberta and the National Institute for Nanotechnology has extended the operating life of an unsealed plastic solar cell, from mere hours to eight months. The research groups’ development of an...
Bell Labs Researcher Wins Tyndall Award
PARIS, Jan. 28, 2010 - Alcatel-Lucent announced that Dr. Randy Giles, director of the optical subsystems and advanced photonics department at Bell Laboratories, has received the 2010 John Tyndall Award, ...
Northern Lights: The Photonics Industry in Canada
Sep 1, 2009 — Canada is a pretty big place: Its surface area is 9,984,670 km2, which means that only Russia and Antarctica are bigger. And photonics is pretty big in Canada, too. The country is strong in a wide variety of photonic areas, according to a January...
Cheaper Solar? Try Plastic
ALBERTA, Canada, Feb. 27, 2009 – The development of inexpensive, mass-produced plastic solar panels is a goal for many of the world's scientists and engineers because of the high cost and shortage of the ultra-high purity silicon and other materials normally required. The...
Record-Small Quantum Dots
EDMONTON, Alberta, Canada, Jan. 28, 2009 – Researchers at the National Institute for Nanotechnology and the University of Alberta have unveiled quantum dots composed of a single atom of silicon and measuring less than 1 nm in diameter, making them the smallest ever created. According to...
Research Lights Up Biochip Potential
EDMONTON, Alberta, Aug. 22, 2006 -- New research from an optics expert is shining light on some of the challenges facing lab-on-a-chip technology. University of Alberta electrical engineering professor Jim McMullin has developed a new type of biochip which may eliminate the need...
Ultrasharp Single-Atom Tips Could Improve Microscopy
EDMONTON, Alberta, July 12, 2006 -- New ultrasharp, single-atom tips created through a unique process could improve electron microscopy to a level that would make solutions possible to research problems currently just out of reach, its developers said. Scientists from the...
Nano Institute Features Canada's Quietest Space
EDMONTON, Alberta, June 22, 2006 -- Hundreds of Canada's leading scientists and engineers gathered in Edmonton today to celebrate the opening of one of the world's most technologically advanced research facilities, the National Institute for Nanotechnology (NINT). The $52.2 million...
Probe Brings Higher Throughput, Resolution to Near-Field Microscopy
Feb 1, 2005 — A team at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, recently evaluated novel designs for near-field scanning optical microscope probes that provide both high throughput and high resolution. The results of the work suggest that...
Metallic Slits Modify Laser Pulses
Jul 1, 2004 — Calculations by Abdulhakem Y. Elezzabi and Anthony Dechant at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, indicate that the design of arrays of subwavelength metallic slits can be used to control the temporal profile of femtosecond...
