X-rays light the way to more nutritious flour
HARPENDEN, UK – Cereals, breads and pasta could be produced from wheat grain containing higher amounts of essential minerals with a little help from x-ray vision. High-intensity x-rays from the world-famous Diamond Light Source synchrotron in Oxford usually are used to observe metal distribution and chemistry in various samples. Now, however, the powerful x-rays are being redirected to carry out fluorescence analysis of wheat varieties. Shown is a red-green-blue overlay of manganese, zinc and iron dis...
Germany: Managing the downswing
BERLIN – Looking back on 2009, many business analysts see Germany as less hard-hit by the recession than some other European countries, and a feeling prevails that “it could have been worse...
It’s a terascale world after all
GHENT, Belgium – Using high-resolution optical lithography techniques that are important in microelectronics fabrication, researchers in Belgium have produced a terascale world map with a circumference of only 40 µm, or about half the width of a human hair. With...
Let it shine the easy way: Laser polishing
AACHEN, Germany – Polishing by hand is not a very popular job – unless you own a classic car and give it a shine over the weekend. But in many industries, polished surfaces are a very necessary evil; for example, medical implants, various metallic products and optics...
The 3-D way to slice it
GIRONA, Spain, and LODI, Italy – They may all look the same in their transparent packets in your supermarket’s refrigerated cases, but hams, sausages and cheeses are nowhere near uniform, and slicing them remains ...
White light supercontinuum: Power struggle
LILLE, France – Researchers are pioneering a practical way of generating high-power white light suitable for applications including spectroscopy, microscopy and optical coherence tomography. Produ...
Affordable x-ray source shrinks to fit
GARCHING, Germany – A tunable x-ray source hundreds of times smaller than a conventional synchrotron has been successfully demonstrated by an international team of researchers at Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics. The feat marks an important step toward building...
Butterfly wings could lead to new optics
MADRID, Spain, and UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – New optical technologies are taking flight, thanks to a technique that can replicate butterfly wings. The manner in which these wings are formed, and their properties of luminosity, could help researchers develop light-emitting devices with enhanced...
Clever cars get color cameras
MUNICH, Germany – In a move that is reminiscent of the 1980s hit series Knight Rider, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Microelectronic Circuits and Systems IMS in Duisburg have developed a process that will give a futuristic boost to in-car driver...
Faster repetition gives comb teeth you can see
KONSTANZ, Germany – Frequency combs have been the basis for a Nobel Prize, but their “teeth” have never been visible – until now. Thanks to recent advances in laser technology, researchers at the University of Konstanz and the US National Institute of Standards &...
Inspecting hot steel in a new light
BILBAO, Spain – Inspecting hot steel as it rolls off a manufacturing line can present a difficult problem for machine vision systems. For one thing, the steel glows, making surface imperfections hard to see. For another, steel is manufactured in environments with...
Light offers read-and-write access to brain cells
OXFORD, UK – A new set of methods allows experimental interaction with biological systems composed of many interacting cell types, such as neural circuits in the brain. Researchers at the University of Oxford have used light to manipulate the memories of fruit...
Molecules in motion
MUNICH, Germany – Moving and then trapping freely dispersed molecules can be a challenging process, especially if they are suspended in liquid. To lessen the difficulty, a novel method has been developed using infrared light to thermally drive and control...
A screen for all places
JENA/DRESDEN, Germany – Cell phones and PDAs have become more than just communication devices – they also are multimedia entertainment tools. It no longer seems unusual to view photos and video clips through them, or even to watch entire television shows and movies....
Alice and Bob talk quantum encryptedly across Vienna
VIENNA, Austria – Researchers from all across Europe have set up a quantum key distribution (QKD) system that demonstrates the growing capabilities of this technology at the network level. Forty-one research and industrial organizations from the European Union,...
Catching photons in a bottle
MAINZ, Germany – Physicists at Johannes Gutenberg University have developed a bottle-shaped, monolithic microresonator that captures light and tunes it to arbitrary optical frequencies. To do this, they stretched a glass fiber until it reached about half the...
Whale spotting via IR
BREMERHAVEN, Germany – Whales are difficult to spot because they spend most of their life under water. And even when they surface to breathe, spouting a column of air and water vapor that rises from 1 to 10 m, only a portion of their body can be seen.Now, a specially...
Wish upon a star
MUNICH, Germany, and MONTREAL – When searching outer space for sharp images of remote stars, large-scale astronomical telescopes employ adaptive optics to actively compensate for atmospheric disturbances. However, these devices need control mechanisms in the form of “guide stars,”...
European Laser Market
Jul 1, 2009 — Advances in technology are creating new opportunities in certain segments of the laser market, despite the current economic slowdown. What follows are reports on some of those areas where those advancements are besting the downturn. Rapid...
Detection and the Deep Blue Sea
DUBLIN, Ireland – New and emerging developments in marine sensor technologies were highlighted at a meeting in March at Dublin City University, which was attended by laboratory researchers and representatives of small- and medium-size enterprises. The crucial need...
Green bacteria promise a new path to solar power
LEIDEN, Netherlands – An international team of scientists has resolved the structure of chlorophyll in the chlorosome of green bacteria. Chlorosomes are the light-harvesting antennae of these bacteria. They are elongated small pockets that can accommodate up to 250,000...
Liverpool University wins £3.5 M for tech transfer
LIVERPOOL, UK – The University of Liverpool has been awarded £3.5 million to improve the transfer of knowledge between academic researchers and industrial partners. The funding, from the Engineering and Physical Science Research Council (EPSRC), will be used to...
New lasers could enable digital projectors inside mobile phones
TAMPERE, Finland – Thin is in, at least for sleek mobile phones and laptops. Consumers are used to seeing mobile phones that are equipped with a plethora of gadgets, including touch screens and global positioning systems, but can you imagine a mobile phone that...
Nottingham wins research award
NOTTINGHAM, UK – A project at the University of Nottingham designed to produce hydrogen on an environmentally friendly and cost-effective basis by using solar energy has won an E.ON UK research award. The topic was applying nanotechnology in the energy sector. The...
Researchers use laser tweezers to juggle cells
GOTHENBURG, Sweden – Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have developed a method to study single cells while exposing them to controlled environmental changes. The method employs a set of laser tweezers to move the cells around in a microscopic channel system,...
