Electronic Noses
GAITHERSBURG, Md., Oct. 30, 2008 – Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have created a new approach for “electronic noses.” Marrying a sensitive detector technology capable of distinguishing hundreds of different chemical compounds with a pattern-recognition module that mimics the way animals recognize odors, the electronic nose could be a potential tool for applications such as sniffing out nerve agents, environmental contaminants, and trace indicators of disease, in addition to monitoring...
Chirped Fiber Improves Pulse
BERLIN, Oct. 29, 2008 -- By introducing a radial chirp into a photonic crystal, researchers in Germany and Russia have developed a novel optical fiber that can transmit ultrashort light pulses with very little distortion over extended distances. The fiber could prove useful...
