Luminate NY Accepting Applications for Round II Rochester, N.Y., June 14, 2018 — Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo today announced that the world's largest business accelerator for startup firms in the optics, photonics, and imaging industries (OPI), Luminate NY, is accepting applications for Round II of the competition. The Luminate NY...
Terahertz Frequency Pulses Uncover Hidden State of Matter AMES, Iowa, June 6, 2018 — Researchers have used ultrafast photonics to visualize electrons interacting as a hidden state of matter in a superconductive alloy. When fully understood and tuned, this state of matter could be used for faster, heat-free quantum computing,...
Photonic Chip Used as Quantum Simulator to Model Molecular Dynamics BRISTOL, England, May 31, 2018 — An international scientific team has shown how an optical chip can simulate the motion of atoms within molecules at the quantum level. Data from the chip allows a frame-by-frame reconstruction of atomic motions to create a virtual movie of a...
Stereolithographic Bioprinting Device Can Create Biological Tissue LOS ANGELES, June 7, 2018 — A stereolithography-based bioprinting platform for building therapeutic biomaterials from multiple materials could help advance on-demand printing of artificial tissues for regenerative medicine. The platform uses a specially adapted 3D printer that...
Study Shows How Quantum Magnets Mimic Light OKINAWA, Japan, and VILLIGEN, Switzerland, June 8, 2018 — A theory about the quantum properties of magnets forms the basis for a hypothesis about emergent light. Several years ago, researchers from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) predicted a characteristic signature that could signal...
Scientists Discover How Light and Gold Interact ATLANTA, June 5, 2018 — Physicists have devised a way to determine the electronic properties of thin gold films after they interact with light, a discovery that could further scientific understanding of how light affects materials. When the energy of a photon is...
New Approach Contains Light, Protects It from Defects STATE COLLEGE, Pa., June 11, 2018 — Researchers have found a way to confine light so that it is insensitive to imperfections in the material that confines it. The new approach is based on “topological protection,” a concept used extensively in solid-state electronic...
Emil Wolf, Pioneer of Optical Physics, Dies at 95 NEWINGTON, Conn., June 6, 2018 — Emil Wolf, a pioneer in optical physics, died on June 2. He was 95. Wolf, the Wilson Professor of Optical Physics at the University of Rochester, where he had taught and worked for nearly 60 years, cowrote with Nobel laureate Max Born the most cited...
Transparent Hybrid Film Changes Color in Response to Humidity TOKYO, June 4, 2018 — Scientists developed a transparent hybrid film and investigated its chromic behavior in relation to relative humidity (RH). The film is made from environmentally friendly clay minerals and a dye, magnesium porphyrin, which changes color in response...
