Holography Helps Uniquely Identify Free-Flowing Particles in the Air
MANHATTAN, Kan., Oct. 6, 2017 — Researchers used overlapping lasers to create holographic images of free flowing air particles. A green laser was used to measure light deflection; a red laser to provide a 3D image that could subjectively account for a variety of particle shapes....
Nanosensors Used to Track Progression of Obesity-Related Diseases
KINGSTON, R.I., October 6, 2017 — According to a New England Journal of Medicine study, more than one third of the world's population is overweight or obese. And, these weight issues can often lead to other health concerns. Researchers from the University of Rhode Island, the...
Catheter Combines Ultrasound and Multispectral Fluorescence to Measure Arterial Plaque
DAVIS, Calif., Oct. 6, 2017 — A novel cardiac catheter probe combines intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIm) in a single device that can image the arteries of a living heart. The catheter can simultaneously retrieve structural and biochemical...
Uncharted Waters
ROCHESTER, N.Y., Oct. 4, 2017 — As the saying goes, "difficult is done at once; the impossible takes a little longer." It took Xi-Cheng Zhang, an optics professor at the University of Rochester, nearly a decade to generate a terahertz wave from water — an achievement that...
Caltech Researchers Develop On-Chip Nanoscale Optical Quantum Memory
PASADENA, Calif., Oct. 4, 2017 — A computer chip with nanoscale optical quantum memory has been developed that is analogous to a traditional memory chip in a computer. An international team led by engineers at Caltech took advantage of the peculiar features of quantum mechanics,...
On-Chip Photonic Synapse Mimics Workings of Neural Synapse
EXETER, England, Oct. 4, 2017 — Photonic computer chips that imitates the way the brain’s synapses work to store and process information — only at speeds a thousand times faster than those of the human brain — could pave the way for computers that work in a way...
Laser-Based Method Could Detect Chemicals Remotely
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Oct. 3, 2017 — Two techniques have been combined to develop a laser-based method that could be used to detect chemicals such as explosives and gases quickly and accurately. One technique, multi-dimensional coherent spectroscopy (MDCS) uses ultrashort laser pulses...
Infrared Satellite Data Predicts End of Volcanic Eruptions
Oct 3, 2017 — The eruption of Mount St. Helens in Washington in 1980 took many by surprise, considering the volcano hadn’t been active in more than a century. The same held true in Chile after the Chaitén volcano erupted in 2008 following thousands...
NJIT’s Cell Podium Develops Augmented Reality Hazard Training
NEWARK, N.J., Oct. 3, 2017 — Cell Podium, a technology company in the New Jersey Institute of Technology’s (NJIST) Enterprise Development Center, has developed an augmented reality system that trains emergency responders how to detect chemical, radiological and biological...
Better Beer, Bread Thanks to Supercontinuum Lasers
Oct 2, 2017 — Most beer is made from four primary ingredients: grains, hops, yeast and water. The basic ingredients for bread are flour, yeast, water and salt. Throw a supercontinuum laser combined with near-IR into the mix and researchers say they can produce...
Advances in Aerial Thermography Could Transform Archeological Methods
HANOVER, N.H., Oct. 2, 2017 — Today's radiometric thermal cameras, coupled with small, inexpensive drones controlled by a smartphone or tablet, have made aerial thermography more accurate, comprehensive and accessible than previous technologies. Multiple aerial images can now be...
