Solar sheet sucks up sunlight
COLUMBIA, Mo. – A flexible solar sheet that captures more than 90 percent of available light is slated to hit the consumer market within the next five years. Generating energy using traditional photovoltaic (PV) methods of solar collection is inefficient and neglects much of the available solar electromagnetic spectrum, said Patrick Pinhero, an associate professor in the University of Missouri chemical engineering department. The device his team developed – essentially a thin, moldable sheet of...
Solar Sheet Sucks Up Sunlight
COLUMBIA, Mo., June 6, 2011 — A flexible solar sheet that captures more than 90 percent of available light is slated to hit the consumer market within the next five years. Patrick Pinhero, an associate professor in the University of Missouri (MU) chemical engineering...
Extremely fast film processes recorded
KIEL, Germany – Using pulses in the soft x-ray spectral region, scientists have demonstrated how quickly an intense laser can change the electrical properties of solids. The findings may lead to the development of optoelectronic components with faster data...
A new technique for terahertz radiation
BOULDER, Colo. – A new laser-based source of terahertz radiation that is more efficient and less prone to damage than similar systems could be useful for detecting trace gases or imaging weapons in security screening. Researchers at JILA, a joint institute of the...
EMCCD camera redraws the boundaries of superresolution 3-D imaging
BELFAST, UK – Researchers in the US have developed a superresolution 3-D imaging technique that resolves single fluorescent molecules with >10 times the precision of conventional optical microscopy. Using an iXon+ electron multiplying CCD (EMCCD) camera from...
EMCCD Resets Limit of 3-D Imaging
BELFAST, Northern Ireland, May 24, 2010 — With the help of a highly sensitive Andor iXon+ electron-multiplying CCD camera, US researchers have developed a super-resolution, 3-D imaging technique that can resolve single fluorescent molecules with greater than 10 times more precision than...
Revealing Cell Membrane Mechanics
CHAMPAIGN, Ill., April 29, 2010 — Thanks to an interdisciplinary team of researchers, scientists now have a more complete understanding of one of the human body’s most vital structures, the red blood cell. Led by University of Illinois electrical and computer engineering...
SDO Unveils Images of ‘First Light’
PALO ALTO, Calif., April 23, 2010 — Spectacular “first light” images and data from three state-of-the art instruments on NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) were unveiled this week. The SDO spacecraft was launched aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket...

Apr 11, 2008 — The University of Colorado's Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering in Boulder announced the opening of the Center for Environmental Mass Spectrometry (CEMS), a laboratory focusing on the detection of pharmaceuticals,...
Phase-Matching Technique for High-Harmonic Generation
Apr 1, 2007 — Researchers at the University of Colorado at Boulder have shown how to accomplish quasi-phasematching in ionized gases, thereby enabling enhancements by two orders of magnitude in the conversion efficiency of high-order harmonic generation. They...
University Establishes Nanotech Research Center
Nov 1, 2006 — The University of Colorado at Boulder has received a grant from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to establish a nanotechnology research center, which will be known as the DARPA Focus Center on Nanoscale Science and Technology...
Optical 'Comb' Measures Finer Frequencies
Apr 4, 2006 — BOULDER, Colo., April 4, 2006 -- A highly sensitive tool for real-time analysis of the quantity, structure and dynamics of a variety of atoms and molecules simultaneously — even in miniscule gas samples — was developed at JILA, the research lab...
Lasers Reveal How Atoms Collide
Nov 2, 2005 — BOULDER, Nov. 2 -- Using laser pulses that last just 70 femtoseconds (quadrillionths of a second), physicists have observed in greater detail than ever before what happens when atoms collide. The experiments at JILA, a joint institute of the...
Daily News Briefs
May 26, 2004 — A number of photonics researchers were among 72 recently elected members and 11 foreign associates of the National Academy of Engineers. They include: David A. Markle, CTO of Ultratech Inc., of San Jose, Calif., for his role in the invention and...
