Scientists have demonstrated a time-resolved spectroscopy technique that enables the study of very fast processes in samples on the femtosecond (fs) time scale without the need for an fs laser or a complex detection system. The method works by analyzing...

The pocket-size scanner displays the results in the operator's mobile phone in a matter of seconds. Spectral Engines says that there is significant international demand for such an innovation - based on infrared radiation - which explains why a total...

Google Cloud is advancing its influence in medical imaging by joining forces with multiple health IT companies. One such organization is Change Healthcare, which unveiled this week that it launched a strategic partnership with Google Cloud. By coupling the Nashville,...

Electronics and light don't go well together on a standard "CMOS' chip. Researcher Satadal Dutta of the University of Twente now succeeds in introducing a light connection into the heart of a semiconductor chip. In this way, two circuits can...

Doping quantum dots (QDs) with additional electrons has been found to cause the specially designed QDs to produce laser light with less stimulation and less energy loss. By adding extra charge carriers to their QDs, researchers from Los Alamos National Laboratory’s...

Malignant tumors often form metastases that spread to other parts of the body via the lymphatic system. High surgical skills are required to identify the precise location of the affected lymph nodes, enabling them to be completely removed. Researchers at...

Biomolecules and cells circulating in the blood carry diagnostic information, the analysis of which makes highly effective, individualized therapies possible. In order to tap this information, scientists from the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology (ILT) have developed a microchip-based diagnostic...

As laser technology matures, the question changes from “what problem can we solve with this laser?” to “what laser parameters do we need for this manufacturing process?” The designs of products ranging from consumer electronics to automobiles require new shapes...

Optical components for microelectronics must be made of glass. Metals are not suitable for this purpose, since optical data can propagate only across roughly a distance of 100 micrometres. This was the general view of scientists until recently....
