Flexible Pulse Control & Hypermodal Nanoparticles - LIGHT MATTERS 01.28.2015

On this week’s show, we’ll learn about a new approach for creating laser pulses to order, and a new type of nanoparticle that enhances six different kinds of bioimaging. We’ll also take a look at the finalists for the Prism Award for metrology instruments. But first we’ll take you to Paris, where last week the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization hosted the opening ceremonies for the International Year of Light.
