How did a 31-year-old physicist working at Bell Labs in New Jersey, US, get away with possibly the worst case of physics research fraud known? From claims to have made the world's first organic electrical laser to th...
The University of Arizona in Tucson will become the home of a $15 million Energy Frontier Research Center, or EFRC, one of 46 new centers of its kind announced this week.
The U.S. military can now calibrate high-power laser systems, such as those intended to defuse unexploded mines, more quickly and easily thanks to a novel nanotube-coated power measurement device developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
The Golden Dragon Oval Plus LED from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors provides perfect illumination for energy-efficient street lighting without the need for secondary optics. The highlight is the new integrated lens. Its oval radiation pattern delivers directed light, ideal for street lighting and reduces the effort for this application considerably.
Small in size, big on performance – that is the new ultra-white Oslon SSL LED from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors. Its package measures just 3 x 3 mm but in terms of luminous efficacy the LED is among the greats with a typical value of 100 lm/W.
A comprehensive study of old and new manufacturing processes, from machining metal to making carbon nanofibers, shows that the more advanced technologies are less efficient in their use of energy and materials per kilogram of output.
It has long been known that heat is an effective weapon against tumor cells. However, it's difficult to heat patients' tumors without damaging nearby tissues.
Now, MIT researchers have developed tiny gold par...
In a blown-up image from a scanning tunneling microscope, it looks just like an endless sheet of chicken wire: a simple flat sheet made up of a lattice of hexagons. But this nanoscopic material called graphene, first generally acknowledged to exist just five years ago, turns out to have a variety of unique, and potentially very useful, characteristics.
Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) and Microvision, Inc. (NASDAQ: MVIS) announced today that the companies have entered into a supply agreement under which Corning will supply its G-1000 green lasers to Microvision, as a k...
An umbrella group set up to give direction to Europe's emerging photonics community has proposed a programme of strategic research and is calling for action to address a looming skills shortage.
The photonics ind...
