11. Automated High-Throughput Sorting Of Living Cells Using Laser Light And AI 3/12/2024

    Tests on living cell cultures are becoming increasingly important for personalized medicine, drug development and clinical research.

12. Picture Perfect X-Ray Capture 1/9/2022

    A nanocomposite that absorbs X-rays and then, with nearly perfect efficiency, re-emits the captured energy as light, could help to improve high-resolution medical imaging and security screening. The material’s near-100 percent energy transfer could bring efficiency gains in devices ranging from light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and X-ray imaging scintillators, all the way to solar cells.

14. High-Performance MCT Sensors For Demanding Applications 2/22/2008
    There are a growing number of infrared photovoltaic 2D focal plane array (FPA) detectors commercially available for integration into high performance infrared cameras. Sensor materials include indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs), quantum well infrared photodetector (QWIP), indium antimonide (InSb) and mercury cadmium telluride (MCT). In addition, microbolometers (µB) have also closed the performance gap with photovoltaic detectors, however significant performance differences remain. Proper selection of sensor technology depends on the application and systems requirements. Submitted by ElectroPhysics
