81. Russian Scientists Find A Method To Significantly Increase The Range And Stability Of Optical Tweezers 7/23/2020

    Scientists of Tomsk Polytechnic University jointly with a team of the V.E. Zuev Institute of Atmospheric Optics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences have discovered a method to increase the operation range of optical traps also known as optical tweezers.

82. Photonic Crystal Light Converter 7/22/2020

    Spectroscopy is the use of light to analyze physical objects and biological samples. Different kinds of light can provide different kinds of information. Vacuum ultraviolet light is useful as it can aid people in a broad range of research fields, but generation of that light has been difficult and expensive.

83. The Smallest Micro-Gripper, Grown On Optical Fibers, Is Operated Remotely With Light 7/15/2020

    Researchers at the Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw, used the liquid crystal elastomer technology to demonstrate a series of micro-tools grown on optical fibers.

84. Limitations Of Super-Resolution Microscopy Overcome 7/7/2020

    With high-resolution microscopy, it is theoretically possible to image cell structures with a resolution of a few nanometres. However, this has not yet been possible in practice.

85. X-Ray Laser Opens New View On Alzheimer Proteins 5/9/2018

    A new experimental method permits the X-ray analysis of amyloids, a class of large, filamentous biomolecules which are an important hallmark of diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. An international team of researchers headed by DESY scientists has used a powerful X-ray laser to gain insights into the structure of different amyloid samples.

86. Scientists Develop Sugar-Coated Nanosheets To Selectively Target Pathogens 3/29/2018

    Researchers have developed a process for creating ultrathin, self-assembling sheets of synthetic materials that can function like designer flypaper in selectively binding with viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens.

87. Rice Team Designs Lens-Free Fluorescent Microscope 3/5/2018

    Lenses are no longer necessary for some microscopes, according to Rice University engineers developing FlatScope, a thin fluorescent microscope whose abilities promise to surpass those of old-school devices.

88. Noninvasive Optical Sensors Provide Real-Time Brain Monitoring After Stroke 2/21/2018

    Each year, nearly 800,000 people in the U.S. experience a stroke, and almost 90 percent of those are ischemic strokes in which a clot cuts off blood flow to part of the brain. To prevent further injury, blood flow to the brain must be restored as quickly as possible.

89. Understanding Brain Functions Using Upconversion Nanoparticles 2/14/2018

    Scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have worked with an international research team to jointly develop a novel approach for deep brain stimulation.

90. SPIE's AR/VR/MR All-Day Conference Delivers Immersive Experience 2/12/2018

    After feasting on a full day of insight from some of the most prominent names in altered and virtual reality technologies, attendees were treated to a panel discussion that assembled pioneers in the space, asking them to muse on its past, present, and future.
