Indium Corporation Announces New EZ-Pour™ Gallium Trichloride

Indium Corporation announces the release of a revolutionary new product called EZ-Pour™ Gallium Trichloride (GaCl3). Gallium trichloride is a unique material that is sometimes difficult to use because it is a solid at room temperature and transfer from one container to the next requires heating.

Ommaditias' Nanonipples Complicate Analysis of Common Fly’s Compound Eyes

In our vain human struggle to kill flies, our hands and swatters often come up lacking. This is due to no fault of our own, but rather to flies' compound eyes. Arranged in a hexagonal, convex pattern, compound eyes consist of hundreds of optical units called ommatidia, which together bestow upon flies a nearly 360-degree field of vision.

Scientists Test Silicon-Based ‘Photonic Crystal Nanocavity’

Unlike electronic circuits, optical, or "photonic", circuits work with light rather than electricity, which makes them 10 to 100 times faster. They are also more energy-efficient because they show lower heat loss, better signal-to-noise ratios and are less susceptible to interference. Used especially for communications (e.g. fiber optics), optical circuits may use tiny optical cavities as 'switches' that can block or allow the flow of light, similarly to transistors in electronics.
