  1. FLIR Announces InfraR&D 2011 Conference Proceedings 4/28/2011
    FLIR Advanced Thermal Solutions has announced the availability of the Conference Proceedings for InfraR&D 2011 - its popular international event for thermographers working in Research & Development, Industry and Automation.
  2. Printed Electronics Awards Winners Announced At Europe's Largest Event On Printed Electronics 4/19/2007
    Plastic Logic was spun out of Cambridge University's Cavendish Laboratory in 2000. Its first target market is 'take anywhere, read anywhere' electronic readers incorporating flexible active matrix displays with millions of printed transistors. These readers will be thin, light and robust, enabling a reading experience closer to paper than any other technology.
  3. Revolutionary PowerMax-Pro Detector Line Extended To Higher Powers 1/28/2016

    Coherent, Inc. has extended its unique series of large area, high speed, PowerMax-Pro laser detectors to enable power measurement of laser beams of up to 375W continuously, 600W for shorter durations, and modulated peak powers as high as 15 kW in intermittent (long pulse) operation. These new PowerMax-Pro HP model sensors will be particularly useful for materials processing applications based on high power fiber lasers, CO2 lasers, solid state lasers and direct diode lasers, including welding, drilling, engraving and heat treating.

  4. Chemist Develops X-ray Vision For Quality Assurance 7/24/2014

    A DTU researcher has developed a method that uses X-rays for the rapid identification of substances present in an indeterminate powder. The new technique has the capacity to recognize advanced biological molecules such as proteins. By Iben Julie Schmidt
