NIR Light Enables Deep Look at Cells
ORLANDO, Sept. 16, 2010 — A “game-changing” technique using near-infrared light enables scientists to look deeper into the guts of cells, potentially opening up a new frontier in the fights against cancer and many other diseases. University of Central...
Curved light bends the rules
TEL AVIV, Israel – Conventional thinking leads us to believe that light only follows a straight path and that it diffracts as it travels. But some scientists are breaking all the rules by creating a new class of nondiffracting optical beam that can bend around...
OSA to Launch New Journal
WASHINGTON, DC, June 7, 2010 — The Optical Society (OSA) announced it will launch a new journal devoted to optical materials, called Optical Materials Express (OME). OME will launch in spring 2011 with bi-monthly issues, joining OSA's portfolio of 14 peer-reviewed optics...
