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 National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Colorado, have developed a technology that offers a twist on common terahertz sources. The JILA instrument for generating terahertz radiation. Ultrafast pulses of n...
Electrons “synch up” to form superconductors
OXFORD, UK – One hundred years after superconductivity was first observed in 1911, a team of researchers has used laser light to transform a nonsuperconducting material into a superconductor. Superconductivity – a phenomenon in which an electric...
Solar3D to Develop 3-D Solar Cell
SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Jan. 20, 2011 — Solar3D Inc., a developer of 3-D solar cell technology that maximizes the conversion of sunlight into electricity, has announced details of its plan for the development of its solar cell. “By combining microphotovoltaics with advanced...
New Solar Cell Mimics Self-Repairing Plants
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., Jan. 6, 2011 — Researchers are creating a type of solar cell designed to self-repair the same way natural photosynthetic systems in plants do, by using carbon nanotubes and DNA. The approach is aimed at increasing service life and reducing cost. ...
Synchrotron x-rays from a tabletop source
LONDON – A tabletop instrument in development may have the potential to produce bright, spatially coherent synchrotron x-rays similar in energy and quality to those generated by some of the largest x-ray facilities in the world. Such x-rays could enable...
Using Electrons in Holography
BERLIN, Dec. 21, 2010 — Physicists at the Max Born Institute (MBI) in Berlin are returning to the principle of using electrons in holography. A special element in their approach is that the electrons that image the object are made from the object itself using a strong...
Laser Controls Quantum State in Diamond
SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Nov. 2, 2010 — Laser light has successfully been combined with trapped electrons to detect and control the electrons' fragile quantum state without erasing it. This is an important step toward using quantum physics to expand computing power and to communicate over...
Nano Antenna Captures Light
HOUSTON, Sept. 23, 2010 — Antennas capture aerial signals that make devices, such as radios and cell phone, work better. Now, a lab at Rice University has built an antenna that captures light in the same way, at a small scale that has big potential. Condensed matter...
Nanotube Solar Funnel Concentrates Light
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 14, 2010 — Chemical engineers at MIT have used hollow tubes of carbon atoms to concentrate solar energy 100 times more than would a regular photovoltaic cell. Such nanotubes could form antennas that capture and focus light energy, potentially allowing much...
Atom's Electrons Move in Real Time
BERKELEY, Calif., Aug. 9, 2010 — Using ultrashort flashes of laser light, scientists have directly observed the movement of an atom’s outer electrons for the first time. Through a process called attosecond absorption spectroscopy, the international team of scientists...
Night vision: There’s an app for that
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – A paper-thin device that uses energy-efficient organic LED technology similar to that found in flat-screen TV and laptop computer screens soon could be made into a night vision application for cell phone cameras. “Really, this is a very...
Solid-State Quantum Memory for Light
CANBERRA, Australia, June 25, 2010 — Using a technique pioneered to stop and control light from a laser by manipulating electrons in a crystal cooled to -270 degrees Celcius, a team from the Australian National University (ANU) say they have developed the most efficient quantum memory...
QDs Could Revolutionize Computing
QUEBEC, Canada, May 14, 2010 — Physicists at McGill University have developed a system for measuring the energy involved in adding electrons to semiconductor nanocrystals, also known as quantum dots – a technology that may revolutionize computing and other areas of science....
Back-Illuminated CMOS Image Sensors Come to the Fore
May 10, 2010 — Solid-state image sensors come in two variants: CCD and CMOS. CCDs generally offer superior image quality. However, CMOS dominates in manufacturing volume because it permits an integrated solution in which both the imaging device and processing...
‘Pure’ Positronium Could Lead to Gamma Ray Lasers
RIVERSIDE, Calif., May 4, 2010 — ‘Positronium is a short-lived system in which an electron and its anti-particle are bound together. In 2007, physicists at the University of California, Riverside created molecular positronium, a brand-new substance, in the laboratory. Now...
Novel Metamaterial Responds to Visible Light
PASADENA, Calif., April 27, 2010 — An artificial optical material with a three-dimensional structure has been engineered to bend light in the “wrong” direction from what normally would be expected, irrespective of the angle of the approaching light. This new type of negative-index...
"Totally new physics" yields first germanium laser
BOSTON – It’s the very first germanium laser capable of emitting wavelengths useful for optical communications. It’s also the first operable at room temperature. And this new laser not only holds promise for optical computing but also proves that...
From tobacco to energy
Apr 12, 2010 — Tobacco farmers, faced with fewer traditional buyers for their crops, are looking to the solar industry for income. Plants such as tobacco are sunlight collectors with many similarities to solar cells. Now, a group of scientists is trying to take...
Hitting the light switch for magnetic manipulation
WEST BENGAL, India – Reversing the magnetic properties of materials is the underlying reality behind computer hard drives, audiotape and other recording media. For these purposes, changing the magnetic state of macroscale particles suffices, but efforts are under way to...
Diamond Properties Speed Quantum Computing
BOCHUM, Germany, March, 22, 2010 – Another decisive step forward in the development of quantum computers has been successful. For the first time, researchers at Ruhr University and at the Universities of Stuttgart and Texas at Austin in the US have placed two nitrogen atoms at a...
Restoring vision with photovoltaic optoelectronics
Mar 18, 2010 — As life expectancy increases, our eyes bear the brunt of aging; many of the elderly suffer from vision problems. One of the leading causes of eye problems in the Western world is macular degeneration. To correct this, retinal implants, generally...
Yale Selects Vistec Litho System
WATERVLIET, N.Y., March 8, 2010 – Vistec Lithography Inc. announced that Yale University of New Haven, Conn., selected its EBPG5000plus electron-beam lithography system for its future nanotechnology research programs. The system, as part of the Yale Institute for Nanoscience...
AMS Readies for Dark-Matter Mission
GENEVA, Feb. 17, 2010 – The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) has taken its initial steps in a journey that will take it ultimately to the International Space Station (ISS), where it will be used to look ...
Andor Appoints ALPAO as Reseller
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2, 2010 – Andor Technology plc of Belfast, UK, a scientific imaging, spectroscopy solutions and microscopy systems provider, has appointed ALPAO as its new value added reseller for the adaptive optics market. The Grenoble, France-based company is a...
Light Kills Germs
Urbana-Champaign, Ill. Jan. 21, 2010 - In the battle against bacteria, researchers at the University of Illinois are using visible light to destroy harmful bacteria and viruses, even in the dark. Based upon a new ca...
