Small, Low-Cost Remote Sensing Satellites Could Orbit Much Closer to Earth
MANCHESTER, England, March 7, 2017 — Smaller and less expensive satellites may soon orbit much closer to Earth improving the quality of images they send back. The University of Manchester is heading up this project to develop remote sensing satellites that can operate at 200-450 kilometers above the Earth’s surface. Remote sensing satellites currently operate at about 500-800 kilometers above the Earth, above the residual atmosphere that exists at lower altitudes. Peter Roberts, scientific coordinator for the project

ORLANDO, Fla., March 1, 2017 — The Laser Institute of America (LIA) has awarded its 2017 R. James Rockwell Jr. Award to John O’Hagan for his contributions to laser safety. The Rockwell Education Achievement Award recognizes individuals with outstanding contributions in...
Monitor Using Light Replaces Blood Test During Surgery
ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 28, 2017 — Monitoring a surgical patient’s blood with light could provide real-time status updates during life-and-death operations and could replace the need for doctors to wait while blood is drawn and tested. Scientist and professor Aristide Dogariu...
Futuristic Foldable, Printable OLEDs
Feb 28, 2017 — Laptops and tablets are hard and breakable; many can’t handle harsh conditions. And bending or stretching them is out of the question. But what if you could fold up that tablet and stick it in your pocket? Or imagine an ultrathin smart tablet...
Quantum Dot Spectrometer in Development for Use in Space
GREENBELT, Md., Feb. 27, 2017 — A prototype of an imaging spectrometer based on quantum-dot technology could miniaturize and potentially revolutionize space-based spectrometers, particularly those used on uninhabited aerial vehicles and small satellites.
Reducing Collateral Damage From Laser Ablation
KAZAN, Russia, Feb. 27, 2017 — Laser ablation for varicose veins, while an effective and minimally invasive technique, can cause collateral damage to the surrounding healthy tissue due to the high output power of the laser. It is therefore important to optimize the laser...
