Robot with a Human Touch
ITHACA, N.Y., Jan. 4, 2017 — A soft robot has been created that can feel its surroundings internally, much like humans do. Using stretchable optical waveguides as curvature, elongation and force sensors in a soft robotic hand, researchers at Cornell University have overcome the hindrances often associated with using motorized means for sensing. "Most robots today have sensors on the outside of the body that detect things from the surface," doctoral student Huichan Zhao said. "Our sensors are integrated within
Appalachian State Receives NSF Grant for Laser-Scanning Confocal Microscope
BOONE, N.C., Dec. 31, 2016 — Appalachian State University’s William C. and Ruth Ann Dewel Microscopy Facility received a $430,900 award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to purchase a new state-of-the-art laser scanning confocal microscope (LSM). The new LSM will...

Optical Tractor Beam Traps Bacteria
BIELEFELD, Germany, Dec 20, 2016 — Physicists at Bielefeld and Frankfurt Universities are studying blood cells, algae and bacteria by trapping these biological cells with a laser beam. Using this procedure they have obtained superresolution images of the DNA in single bacteria....
Graphene-Laced Silly Putty Creates Sensors
DUBLIN, Dec. 19, 2016 — By infusing silly putty (polysilicone) with graphene, researchers have produced an extremely sensitive sensor they call “G-putty.” They found that when the graphene was added, the silly putty was able to conduct electricity and became...
Plasmonics Simplify Printing and Imaging in Color and Infrared
DURHAM, N.C., Dec. 15, 2016 — A new manufacturing technique promises to bring a simplified form of multispectral imaging into daily use. Using existing materials and production approaches that are scalable and inexpensive, Duke University researchers have found a way to print...
Photonics-Based Skin Patch Monitors Hydration
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. Dec. 9, 2016 — Dehydration can now be measured with ease thanks to laser machined filter paper. Researchers at Purdue University used CO2 laser processing to create a radial array of strips on their new skin patches that change color to indicate different levels...
MILabs to Provide CT System to Univ. of Alabama at Birmingham
UTRECHT, Netherlands Antilles, Dec. 7, 2016 — Molecular imaging solutions developer MILabs BV will be providing an advanced U-CT UHR microCT system to the Cystic Fibrosis Research Center (CFRC) at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). The adaptive X-ray computed tomography system is...
Solar Cells Processed at Room Temperature Could Cut Costs of Wearable Devices
ATLANTA, Dec. 6, 2016 — A simple solution-based electrical doping technique could help reduce the cost of polymer solar cells and organic electronic devices, and help move organic photovoltaics into a new generation of wearable devices. Researchers at the Georgia Institute...
Kempe Foundation Grants Funding for Umeå Postdoc Researchers
ÖRNSKÖLDSVIK, Sweden, Dec. 2, 2016 — The Kempe Foundation has granted two years of funding for eight postdoctoral researchers in autonomous systems at Umeå University in Sweden. The project leaders include Erik Elmroth, Leonid Freidovich, Thomas Hellström, Helena Lindgren,...
Fiber Optics Help Improve the Performance of Single-Photon Sources
BATH, England, Nov. 29, 2016 — Information can be imprinted on single photons that can in turn, perform calculations and transmit messages. Creating the “individual” photon to do that is a complicated and challenging process though. With the help of fiber optics and...
Gooch & Housego Wins UK Funding
ILMINSTER, England, Nov. 29, 2016 — Photonic systems developer Gooch & Housego PLC won government funding from Innovate UK and the UK National Quantum Technologies Program for its REVEAL and CASPA projects. REVEAL aims to develop a quantum gravity sensor based on a cold atom...
Terahertz Scanning Device Developed for Non-Destructive Inspections
TOKYO, Nov. 28, 2016 — Most terahertz imaging systems are very bulky — think body scanners at airports that rotate 360 degrees. But a new portable and wearable terahertz scanning device using arrays of carbon nanotubes (CNT) could make it easier to perform...
Ultrastrong Coupling Achieved Between Light and Matter
WATERLOO, Ontario, Nov. 22, 2016 — An ultrastrong coupling (USC) between photons and qubits 10 times larger than ever seen may open the door to a domain of physics and applications deemed unattainable until recently. Researchers at the University of Waterloo's Institute for Quantum...
Silicon Nanoantennas Turn Light Around
MOSCOW, Nov. 22, 2016 — Light is rather hard to control, as photons have neither mass nor electric charge. Devices such as nanoantennas can control the propagation of electromagnetic waves, but only to a certain degree. A proposed nonlinear optical nanoantenna that can be...
AI Dialog Brings Together Humans and Their Machines
FRANKFURT,Germany & OXFORD, England, Nov. 18, 2016 — Artificial intelligence algorithms can potentially enhance future automated driving mobility applications. These same deep-learning algorithms could also increase visual object detection to further enhance human-machine dialog. In a joint venture,...
