Doping Process Increases Conductivity, Transparency of Graphene
NEW YORK, Nov. 8, 2021 — An interdisciplinary team of researchers from Columbia University and Sungkyungkwan University (South Korea) has introduced a clean technique to dope graphene via a charge-transfer layer made of low-impurity tungsten oxyselenide (TOS). The team generated the new “clean” layer by oxidizing a single atomic layer of another 2D material, tungsten selenide. When team members layered TOS on top of the graphene, they found that it left the graphene riddled with electricity-conducting
Light-Matter Coupling Offers Implications for Quantum Optics
MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 9, 2020 — An international research team led by the University of Minnesota Twin Cities has produced a quantum state that is part light and part matter. The research has implications for the next generation of quantum-based optical and electronic devices, and...

Photothermal Ablation of Endometriosis Possible Using Nanomedicine
PORTLAND, Ore., April 8, 2020 — Using photoresponsive nanoparticles loaded with dye, researchers at the Oregon State University College of Pharmacy and the Oregon National Primate Research Center have developed a way to identify and remove lesions associated with endometriosis, a...
Portable Concussion Detector Uses Infrared Light to Measure Brain Metabolism
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Feb. 4, 2020 — A new approach to detecting concussion uses a laser to deliver infrared (IR) light pulses to the brain, where the light interacts with cytochrome C oxidase (CCO), a mitochondrial enzyme important to brain metabolism. CCO is known to decrease when...
Scientists Develop Spectrometer to Detect Molecular Signatures
MUNICH, Jan. 2, 2020 — Scientists at the Laboratory for Attosecond Physics (LAP) have developed a spectrometer for the analysis of the molecular composition of biological samples, capable of detecting minimal variations in the chemical makeup of organic systems. The...
Laser-Induced Avalanche Breakdown Detects Radioactive Material Remotely
COLLEGE PARK, Md., March 28, 2019 — A new method to identify radioactive material employs an IR laser beam to detect shielded material from a distance. The method, developed by physicists at the University of Maryland, improves upon current detection technologies that require close...
Biosensor Monitors Oxygen in Organ-on-a-Chip Systems
RALEIGH, N.C., Aug. 21, 2018 — A new photonic biosensor can track oxygen levels in real time in organs-on-a-chip to ensure that these systems are mimicking the function of physical organs. Developed at North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina, Chapel...
IR Light Remotely Controls Curvature of Plastics
RALEIGH, N.C., March 24, 2017 — A new technique has been developed that uses infrared light to curve 2D plastic sheets into 3D structures such as spheres, tubes, or bowls. Researchers at North Carolina State University are building on previous research that focused on self-folding...
Laser Vision Keeps Eye on Industrial Fluids
SAARBRUCKEN, Germany, April 9, 2014 — New laser machine vision systems can monitor the condition of lubricating and hydraulic oils and other fluids in industrial installations without interrupting operations. “A great deal of effort is expended in changing oil that is still...
Replacing Mammography with Light and Ultrasound
ENSCHEDE, Netherlands, Oct. 24, 2013 — A new device called a photoacoustic mammoscope combines infrared light and ultrasound to create 3-D maps of the breast. Its creators hope that it could someday replace the x-rays used in traditional mammography for routine breast cancer screenings....
Near-perfect optical absorber developed
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – A tunable device coated with a film 100 times thinner than the wavelength of incident light absorbs 99.75 percent of a specific mid-infrared band on demand, potentially expanding thermal detection and energy harvesting applications. Designed by...
Dark matter halos may contain stars
LOS ANGELES and IRVINE, Calif. – Stars kicked to the edges of space during violent collisions and mergers with other galaxies can get tossed into large, invisible cocoons of dark matter, which might explain why astronomers say they see more light in the universe than it seems they...
Electrically Conductive Nanoparticles Generate Heat to Kill Cancer Cells
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., Dec. 14, 2012 — Electrically conductive polymers, commonly used in solar energy applications, have been modified to kill colorectal cancer cells when exposed to infrared light.
Material Absorbs Nearly 100% of IR Light
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 27, 2012 — An ultrathin, tunable device developed at Harvard absorbs 99.75% of infrared light on demand and, when activated, looks like a black blob to IR cameras. The near-perfect absorber could expand the possibilities for energy harvesting and thermal...
