Plasmonic Nanolaser Opens the Way for Coherent On-Chip Light Sources
ESPOO, Finland, Jan. 9, 2017 — Using “dark lattice modes” researchers at Aalto University have created a plasmonic nanolaser that operates at visible light frequencies. The laser works at length scales 1000 times smaller than the thickness of a human hair. The results...
Imaging Technique Visualizes Individual Retinal Ganglion Cells
ROCHESTER, N.Y., Jan 5, 2017 — A new imaging technique that modifies confocal adaptive optics scanning light ophthalmoscopy (AOSLO) could revolutionize how eye health and disease are assessed. Using their new, non-invasive imaging technique, researchers at the University of...
Virtual Reality Diagnoses Balance Disorders
KAUNAS, Lithuania, Jan. 5, 2017 — Disorders of balance and vestibular function (balance and eye movement) can be diagnosed using a new portable, and inecpensive virtual reality device.
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...
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...
