FPGA-Based Data Compression Drives Brain Imaging Performance Gains
EDINBURGH, Scotland, May 17, 2023 — To help broaden the use of single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) cameras for multispeckle diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS), researchers at the University of Edinburgh developed a data compression scheme for a large-pixel-count SPAD camera using...
Fully Submerged Quantum Lidar Device Acquires 3D Images
EDINBURGH, Scotland, May 9, 2023 — Researchers in the U.K. have demonstrated a lidar system that uses quantum detection technology to acquire 3D images while submerged underwater. The sensitivity of this system could allow it to capture detailed information even in extreme low-light...
Mathematical Model Based on Maxwell’s Equations Leads to Discovery of New Lightwave
EDINBURGH, Scotland, Sept. 9, 2019 — Equations developed by physicist James Clerk Maxwell have helped to reveal how crystals can be manipulated to produce a distinctive form of lightwave. Researchers from the University of Edinburgh and Pennsylvania State University made the discovery...
Li-Fi Adds Data to Light the Way
Dec 26, 2018 — In the late 1800s, Thomas Edison’s incandescent light bulb glowed for the first time. Within the next decade or so, Guglielmo Marconi’s wireless telegraph ushered in the era of radio frequency (RF) communication. But it wasn’t...
3D Imaging Study Reveals Chromosome Makeup
EDINBURGH, Scotland, Nov. 26, 2016 — An advanced imaging technique combining light and electron microscopy with computational modeling software has revealed that DNA makes up only half of the material inside chromosomes — far less than was previously thought.
PureLiFi Ships Network Systems, Secures New Investment
EDINBURGH, Scotland, January 20, 2015 — EDINBURGH, Scotland, January 20, 2015 — Optical wireless communications firm PureLiFi has raised £1.5 million from angel investors, bringing the startup’s total value to £14 million. PureLiFi shipped its first fully wireless...
Laser Microscope Offers Insight into Autism
EDINBURGH, Scotland, March 31, 2014 — A new laser microscope has the potential for a better understanding of the complex brain circuits of people with autism.
UK Awards Funds for Light-Based Manufacturing
GLASGOW, Scotland, Jan. 8, 2014 — Research projects that explore how light can be used in new ways to improve manufacturing in the pharmaceutical, chemical, electronics and security industries has received £3.6 million (about $6 million) in government funding. The money,...
NI, UEdinburgh Partner on ‘LiFi’
LONDON & EDINBURGH, Scotland, Nov. 22, 2013 — National Instruments (NI) is collaborating with the University of Edinburgh to dramatically improve indoor wireless communications capacity using optics. Professor Harald Haas, chair of mobile communications at the University of Edinburgh, is a...
‘Li-Fi’ Could Unleash the Internet in Your Lights
GLASGOW, Scotland, Jan. 28, 2013 — Imagine simultaneously powering your laptop, displaying information and delivering Wi-Fi-like communications, all with the same LED technology used to illuminate your home. This radical, distinctive vision could soon be a reality with micron-size...
Edinburgh Instruments Appoints Shepherd Chairman
LIVINGSTON, Scotland, May 30, 2012 — Dr. Derek Shepherd was named chairman of Edinburgh Instruments at a pivotal time for the company, as it continues to expand across all of its divisions.
Visible Spectrum Eyed for Communications
EDINBURGH, Scotland, Oct. 11, 2011 — At the University of Edinburgh, Harald Haas and his team specialize in finding innovative solutions to mobile communication challenges. Visible light communication may expand our window on the world, they said. Using the visible light spectrum...
First Fluorescent Protein 3-D Hologram Created
EDINBURGH, Scotland, May 26, 2011 — Holoxica, a company spun out from the University of Edinburgh, has made the first medical imaging hologram of a green fluorescent protein (GFP) structure, allowing scientists to visualize the structure without any glasses or other visual aids. This...
Fast Camera Takes A New Look at Biosensing
TEDDINGTON, England, Dec. 9, 2010 — A European consortium comprising the National Physical Laboratory, ST Microelectronics, the University of Edinburgh and TU Delft has been involved in the development and application of the Megaframe Imager - an ultrafast camera capable of recording...
Gold Nanoprobes Monitor Disease
ENDINBURGH, Scotland, April 9, 2010 — Tiny chemical sensors implanted into patients could help diagnose disease and track its progress, following a development by scientists. Researchers at the University of Edinburgh have developed tiny probes comprising gold-coated particles....
The struggle to keep research real
Feb 28, 2010 — Beneath a scientist’s lab coat beats a human heart. So it should be no surprise that researchers sometimes fudge – or outright fake – their data. Often, this manipulation takes the form of a doctored image. Michael Kalichman, director of the...
Photons Led Astray
ERLANGEN, Germany, Feb. 17, 2010 – An international team, headed by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light, is using polarized light (light waves that oscillate in a particular plane) to de...
Giant Camera Heads to Hawaii
EDINBURGH, Scotland, Feb. 22, 2008 -- The UK Astronomy Technology Centre (UK ATC) at the Royal Observatory Edinburgh yesterday shipped its biggest and most complex instrument ever -- a four-ton camera the size of a car that is expected to make major discoveries about the origins of the...
'Maxwell's Demon' Becomes a Reality
EDINBURGH, Scotland, Feb. 6, 2007 -- An idea conceived by an eminent scientist nearly 150 years ago has finally been realized with a tiny machine that could eventually lead to lasers moving objects remotely. James Clerk Maxwell, who is ranked along Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein...
With Polarization Studies, Astronomers Creep Closer to Black Holes
Jan 1, 2005 — By measuring the polarization of radiation from distant objects to an accuracy of better than 1/20 of a percent, astronomers have pushed their observations perhaps 100 times closer to the edge of a black hole than previously had been accomplished....
