Stanford University News
Controlling Genes with Light
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., July 24, 2013 — A single pulse of light can rapidly start or halt the expression of any gene of interest, giving researchers a new tool for better understanding its function.
3-D Display Doesn’t Disturb 2-D Viewers
SANTA CRUZ, Calif., July 22, 2013 — Watching 3-D television with stereo glasses can be cumbersome, and taking them off to give your eyes a break only leaves you staring at a blurry image. But a 3D+2D display could change that, enabling viewers with glasses to see images in 3-D, while...
Bloch Receives 2013 Körber European Science Prize
HAMBURG, Germany, June 14, 2013 — Experimental physicist Dr. Immanuel Bloch has received the 2013 Körber European Science Prize, presented by the Körber Foundation for his groundbreaking research in the field of quantum simulation with ultracold atoms.
Printing Innovations Improve Organic Electronics
MENLO PARK, Calif., June 4, 2013 — A printing technique that focuses on the physics of the process rather than the chemical makeup of the semiconductor provides a tenfold improvement in organic electronics. The findings could yield flexible electronic displays, tiny sensors and...
Wheels Come Off Planet-Hunting Telescope
MOFFETT FIELD, Calif., May 20, 2013 — The Kepler space telescope, NASA’s primary instrument for detecting planets beyond our solar system, suffered a critical failure last week when one of its four reaction wheels stopped functioning, the agency announced. The malfunction leaves just...
Polariton Laser Is Electrically Injected
STANFORD, Calif., and WÜRZBURG, Germany, May 16, 2013 — A paradigm-shifting “polariton” laser fueled by electricity rather than by light has been demonstrated by researchers at the University of Michigan.
Light Cast on Sleeping Brain
MUNICH, April 18, 2013 — Rhythmic “slow wave” signals that pulse through the brain during deep sleep have been proved to originate in the cerebral cortex. Using light to stimulate and observe these waves in unprecedented detail could provide scientists with a better...
Optogeneticist Creates Transparent Brain
STANFORD, Calif., April 11, 2013 — A hydrogel process that renders a postmortem mouse brain transparent to light while keeping it intact has provided a highly detailed glimpse of its inner structure.
Endoscope Prototype Is Small as a Human Hair
STANFORD, Calif., March 15, 2013 — Some patients dread endoscopy more than the potential diagnosis — but a new prototype is as small as a human hair. And it delivers resolution four times better than previous similar devices of similar design. The device could enable new methods in...
Organic Phototransistors Made with Nanowires
ULSAN, South Korea, March 12, 2013 — High-performance organic phototransistors (OPTs) based on single-crystalline n-channel organic nanowires could miniaturize electronic and optoelectronic devices, yielding higher light sensitivity than their bulk counterparts.
Peel-and-stick solar cells add more than flexibility
Mar 1, 2013 — Unlike their stiff, inflexible cousins, new peel-and-stick thin-film solar cells can be peeled off like Band-Aids and stuck to virtually any surface, from paper to windowpanes. Standard thin-film photovoltaic (PV) cells require direct fabrication on...
Probe Emits Light in Living, Unharmed Cells
STANFORD, Calif., Feb. 14, 2013 — A new class of light-emitting probes small enough to be injected into individual cells without harming them could provide new ways of exploring the dynamics of living cells.
OSA Recognizes Chu as Advocate of Optics
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11, 2013 — US Secretary of Energy Steven Chu is The Optical Society’s 2013 Advocate of Optics. He was recognized at a reception as part of OSA’s annual two-day Leadership Conference in Washington.
Data Demands Drive Free-Space Optics
Feb 1, 2013 — Light-based options promise to pick up where radio-frequency technology leaves off. In wireless communications, things are getting crowded. Growing data demands are bumping up against radio frequency capacity. In response, researchers and companies...
Synthetic magnetic field directs photons
STANFORD, Calif. – A photonic crystal device that tames the flow of free-moving photons with synthetic magnetism could enable scientists to precisely steer light in any direction. The process breaks a key law of physics known as the time-reversal symmetry of light....
Peel-and-Stick Solar Cells Add More than Flexibility
STANFORD, Calif., Dec. 27, 2012 — Unlike their stiff, inflexible cousins, new peel-and-stick thin-film solar cells can be peeled off like Band-Aids and stuck to virtually any surface, from paper to windowpanes. Unlike standard thin-film photovoltaic (PV) cells, the peel-and-stick...
OFC/NFOEC Keynote Speakers Announced
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21, 2012 — High-speed broadband deployment challenges, software-defined networks and cloud services are keynote topics to be discussed by three industry leaders at the 2013 Optical Fiber Communications Conference and Exhibition/National Fiber Optics Engineers...
NIR Imaging Gets Big Boost
STANFORD, Calif., Dec. 3, 2012 — Studying arterial diseases and therapies just got easier, thanks to a new fluorescence imaging technique that allows researchers to visualize the blood flow of living animals with unprecedented clarity. The Stanford University technique, called...
High-Growth Markets Focus of Photonics West Panel
BELLINGHAM, Wash., Nov. 7, 2012 — Reducing energy consumption in homes, businesses and data centers and providing efficient renewable energy sources to high-growth markets for sustainable photonics technologies will be discussed by a panel of five industry leaders at SPIE Photonics...
Matsuura Named OSA Senior Science Adviser
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6, 2012 — Anne Matsuura, former chief executive of the European Theoretical Spectroscopy Facility (ETSF) in Belgium, has been named senior science adviser at The Optical Society (OSA), the organization announced Monday.
A Magnetic Field for Photons
STANFORD, Calif., Nov. 1, 2012 — A photonic crystal device that tames the flow of free-moving photons with synthetic magnetism could enable scientists to precisely steer light in any direction.
Kao Named SLAC Director
MENLO PARK, Calif., Oct. 25, 2012 — After a nearly 10-month search for a new director at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, Stanford University decided to promote from within, naming Associate Director Chi-Chang Kao to the position Wednesday.
Atom Optics Comes of Age
GREENBELT, Md., Oct. 19, 2012 — NASA is funding atom interferometry, a variation on the 200-year-old optical technique, in the belief that the emerging, highly precise measurement technology will allow the detection of ripples in space-time and other events.
Spectroscopy Technique Advances Spintronics
BERKELEY, Calif., Oct. 16, 2012 — An x-ray spectroscopy technique marks a significant step toward removing a major roadblock impeding the use of certain semiconductors in computing, because processing data using electron “spin” rather than charge would mean smaller, faster and more...
Optogenetics Pioneers Win Zülch
COLOGNE, Germany, Sept. 6, 2012 — Four scientists who initiated and were instrumental in promoting optogenetics will be recognized Sept. 7 with the K.J. Zülch Prize 2012 from the Gertrud Reemtsma Foundation. In announcing the prize recipients — Ernst Bamberg of Max Planck...
