X-Ray Lightning
GAINESVILLE and MELBOURNE, Fla., July 17, 2008 -- According to the National Weather Service, an average of 62 people are killed each year by lightning in the United States. In a single week this July, which typically is peak lightning season, five young lives were claimed across the country. With the hope of better understanding the movement of lightning for this very reason, a group of engineering researchers from the University of Florida (UF) and Florida Institute of Technology (FIT) have narrowed the search for the source of x-rays...

Dynasil Acquires RMD for $20M
WEST BERLIN, N.J., July 3, 2008 -- Photonics company Dynasil Corp. of America announced July 2 that it acquired advanced instruments maker Radiation Monitoring Devices (RMD) and assets of RMD Instruments LLC for $20 million in cash and stock. Under the deal, Dynasil will pay $12.5...
Seeing an Invisible Frontier
BERKELEY, Calif., July 3, 2008 – Simply by default, NASA’s twin STEREO spacecraft detected never-before-seen particles from the far reaches of the solar system. The region is actually invisible to optical telescopes, but can be mapped by detecting energetic neutral atoms, which are...
Color Quality and Spectra
Jul 1, 2008 — The primary motivation for development of solid-state lighting is the potential for huge energy savings. The energy efficiency of a light source is measured by luminous efficacy (lumens per watt), a component of which is the luminous efficacy of...
Fabricating Photonic Quantum Circuits in Silicon
Jul 1, 2008 — The future of quantum technologies could be written in sand, according to researchers from the University of Bristol in the UK. A group at the institution demonstrated high-fidelity quantum photonic circuits using waveguides made of silicon dioxide,...
Gyrocam Systems Secures Defense Contract
Jul 1, 2008 — The US Army has awarded Gyrocam Systems LLC of Sarasota, Fla., a $302 million contract for Phase II of the Vehicle Optic Sensor System program, a network of night vision, day and thermal imaging cameras used by the US military to locate and suppress...
LEDs in the Greenhouse
Jul 1, 2008 — Plants contain photosensors that respond to parts of the spectrum from the UV to 740 nm and that control various aspects of plant growth. For the past few years, researchers led by John Allen of the department of physics and astronomy at the...
New Technologies Power New Eyes
on the Sky
Jul 1, 2008 — A science that studies exploding stars is itself exploding. Over the next decade, astronomers will more than double the cumulative worldwide telescope mirror area, survey the sky as never before while looking for killer asteroids, resolve objects...
The Expanding Role of Lidar at NASA
Jul 1, 2008 — The growing importance of laser-based remote sensing instruments to NASA scientists and space mission designers is not surprising. Lasers offer clear advantages over passive and active radio-wave measurements for many space applications. These...
Tokyo Firm Puts Detectors to Work in Healing Sick Building Syndrome
Jul 1, 2008 — Energy conservation efforts in the home or office often entail sealing up buildings, which can trap pollutants such as formaldehyde and lead to a condition known as sick building syndrome. Identifying the pollutant can be a challenge for small...
Toyo Ram to Sell Zecotek Products in Israel
Jul 1, 2008 — Zecotek Photonics Inc. of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, has signed an exclusive sales and distribution agreement with Toyo Ram Electronics Ltd. of Ra’anana, Israel. The latter company will sell and distribute in Israel the former’s green...
Vision Sensors Hit the Road
Jul 1, 2008 — No longer confined to the factory floor, machine vision technology is going for a spin. The same technology that determines whether a label is missing is being pressed into service to manage traffic, to classify cars for the purpose of collecting...
Crystals Key to Cloaking
CHAMPAIGN, Ill., June 30, 2008 -- Concentric rings of silicon photonic crystals have, in computer simulations, demonstrated an approximate cloaking effect, bringing scientists a step closer to making optical cloaking -- invisibility -- more practical. "This is much more than a...
Photodiodes Spy Anthrax
ATLANTA, G.A., June 27, 2008 – Thanks to a group of researchers at Georgia Tech, the U.S. military’s pressing requirements for compact, reliable and cost-effective sensors for detecting anthrax and other bioterrorism agents could soon be met. The group discovered a new class...
Fiber Optics in Fashion
FLORENCE, Italy, June 26, 2008 – With 15,000 individually addressable optical fibers totaling more than 40 miles in combined length, the interactive art installation, called the Cloud, was quite a spectacle at this year’s Pitti Uomo fashion show in Italy. Photos courtesy of MIT's...
Light Creates Tiny Patterns
PRINCETON, N.J., June 20, 2008 -- The old trick, practiced by schoolboys everywhere, of concentrating a beam of sunlight through a magnifying lens to ignite paper -- or an unfortunate ant -- has been given a new twist. By using a microscopic plastic bead in place of the lens and...
Georgia Tech Names New Tech Lab Director
Jun 18, 2008 — Lon Pringle, a longtime research scientist with the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI), has been appointed director of its Signature Technology Laboratory (STL), succeeding John Meadors. Pringle was formerly STL’s chief scientist. The new...
UIowa to Assess Lab Damage
IOWA CITY, Iowa, June 18, 2008 -- It will be months before the full extent of flood damage sustained by the Iowa Advanced Technology Laboratories (IATL) is known, a University of Iowa official said Wednesday. The facility remains closed, with water from the nearby Iowa River in its...
A Worm of a Different Color
BUFFALO, N.Y. , June 17, 2008 -- A mutant worm changes color when it moves as the result of an optical sensor called stFRET. The sensor is composed of a pair of fluorescent molecules connected by a molecular spring that is inserted into structural proteins in the worm's cells....
