CHECK POINT
Oct 1, 2008 — On Sept. 21, 2007 – just six years and 10 days after two planes took off from Boston’s Logan International Airport and rammed into the World Trade Center in New York – MIT undergraduate Star Simpson entered the very same airport wearing some LED...
Displays That Look Back
Oct 1, 2008 — Digital signage is nothing new. Whether in New York City’s Times Square or along the highway, digital signs enable more than one advertisement to appear in a given location, and the quick changes of the display often catch the attention of...
Faster, Stronger, Higher:
Oct 1, 2008 — Lighting, specialized optics and other technologies that can be labeled “protophotonics” were being used in sporting contests long before night games were played at Wrigley Field, but bright lights and television cameras have become old standbys,...
Fluorescent Windshield Improves Visibility
Oct 1, 2008 — WARREN, Mich. – Head-up automotive displays are often touted as a great safety feature because they minimize the driver’s need to glance down for information, which helps drivers to keep their eyes on the road. Although monitoring your speed or...
Give Me Some (Photonic) Skin
Oct 1, 2008 — BRUSSELS, Belgium – A unique sensor system that combines optoelectronics and fiber optics in a flexible, stretchable, skinlike polymer film for applications including health care and structural engineering is being developed under the three-year,...
Head Games
GÖTTINGEN, GERMANY -- The computers we rely on trust magnetic drives to store all the data we try to wedge into them. This presents designers with a double-edged sword: how to increase capacity while shrinking size. A little help from photonics could ease the burden....
Helium: Up, Up and Away?
Oct 1, 2008 — Refiners are struggling to keep up with demand, prices have increased dramatically over the past few years, and debate is raging over depleting federal reserves. If you think the subject is oil, think again. Helium, the most important supercoolant...
In the Spirit of Managing the Planet
Oct 1, 2008 — Gathering satellite images of Earth is nothing new. Nor is using the information to analyze our continents, oceans and weather-related events for environmental, strategic and reconnaissance purposes. What seems to be changing is the way in which...
Inspection in the Fast Lane
Oct 1, 2008 — In a security-conscious age, there is a world of information to keep tabs on. Walk into an airport or a federal building, and you are screened for forbidden objects. If you run a small retail shop and are busy in the back room, knowing when a...
