A reference work involving exactly 100 authors just recently appeared: Compendium of Quantum Physics. Concepts, Experiments, History and Philosophy. Five of them are researchers connected with the University of Stuttgart and the Max Planck Institute for Solid-State Research - Klaus von Klitzing, Alfred Seeger, Jürgen Weis, Daniela Wünsch and one of the editors.
Despite their popularity in the science fiction genre, there is much to be learned about black holes, the mysterious regions in space once thought to be absent of light. In a paper published in the August 20 issue of Phy...
A new project to speed up the transfer of groundbreaking research and development from the North West Laser Engineering Consortium (NWLEC) to Northwest businesses has been given the go ahead following the confirmation of an £882,000 investment from the Northwest European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
Veeco Instruments announced today that Philips Lumileds Lighting Company, has selected Veeco's TurboDisc K465 gallium nitride (GaN) Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) Systems to support its LUXEON LED production ramp.
A new process for creating ultrathin, ultrasmall inorganic light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and assembling them into large arrays offers new classes of lighting and display systems with interesting properties, such as see-through construction and mechanical flexibility, that would be impossible to achieve with existing technologies.
A lot! Scientists using the powerful beam lines at Berkeley Lab's Advanced Light Source in recent years have conducted breakthrough research on platinum-nickel alloys as a catalyst for fuel cells, made a discovery about the Ebola virus structure that could lead to a vaccine, and crafted a new technique for guiding self-assembly of nanostructures that should open up vistas for entirely new applications.
Researchers in France, Germany, Switzerland and the UK have discovered new electron properties that could lead to useful applications in computers and lasers. The study, published in the journal Nature Materials, was fun...
Researchers have modified nanoparticles known as "Cornell dots" to make the world's tiniest laser -- so small it could be incorporated into microchips to serve as a light source for photonic circuits. The device may also have applications for sensors, solar collectors and in biomedicine.
Because the new device, called a "spaser," is the first of its kind to emit visible light, it represents a critical component for possible future technologies based on "nanophotonic" circuitry, said Vladimir Shalaev, the Robert and Anne Burnett Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University.
The London Centre for Nanotechnology (LCN) - a joint venture between UCL and Imperial College London - is leading two international projects to develop radically new approaches to miniaturising computer systems, which would require less energy and make data storage completely stable, among other benefits.
