To develop a device based on nanophotonic technology that enables a quick and early diagnosis of different types of cancer –specifically breast, prostate, lung and colorectal– analysing only two or three drops of blood. This is the objective of SAPHELY, a European project funded by the EU's Horizon 2020 programme, led by the Valencia Nanophotonics Technology Center of the Universitat Politècnica de València. The SYM group of Centre for Molecular Recognition and Technological Development is also participating in the project as the second partner from the UPV.
Pick up a handful of sand, and it flows through your fingers like a liquid. But when you walk on the beach, the sand supports your weight like a solid. What happens to the forces between the jumbled sand grains when you step on them to keep you from sinking?
Guided by the motto “Connecting Science and Business”, Max Planck Innovation GmbH is a partner of science and industry alike. Its interdisciplinary team provides consulting services and support for scientists from the Max Planck Society with regard to evaluating inventions, applying for patents and founding companies. Max Planck Innovation thus performs the important function of transferring the results of basic research to products that are useful for both the industry and the general public.
For once, slower is better in a new piece of technology.
A Yale lab has developed a new, radio frequency processing device that allows information to be controlled more effectively, opening the door to a new generation of signal processing on microchips. One of the keys to the technology involves slowing information down.
A method to selectively enhance or inhibit optical nonlinearities in a chip-scale device has been developed by scientists, led by the University of Sydney. The researchers from the Centre for Ultrahigh bandwidth Devices for Optical Systems, (CUDOS) based at the University of Sydney published their results in Nature Communications today.
Leading semiconductor test equipment supplier Advantest Corporation will demonstrate its latest TAS7500 THz spectroscopy and imaging systems and solutions at the annual PITTCON Conference and Expo, to be held in at the Memorial Convention Center in New Orleans, LA from March 9-12, 2015.
Since the determination of the molecular structure of myoglobin in 1957, X-ray crystallography has been the defining tool of structural biology, allowing researchers to determine the structure (and hence the function) of tens of thousands of proteins, nucleic acids, and other biological molecules. But the method can only work for molecules that form large, high quality crystals.
What if one day, your computer, TV or smart phone could process data with light waves instead of an electrical current, making those devices faster, cheaper and more sustainable through less heat and power consumption? That's just one possibility that could one day result from an international research collaboration that's exploring how to improve the performance of plasmonic devices.
Phoseon Technology announced today the expansion of the FireJet™ FJ200 air-cooled product family with 8W/cm2 peak irradiance at 365nm wavelength. UV LED light sources at 365nm are suitable for adhesive and coating applications where high peak 365nm irradiance and fast curing of heat-sensitive substrates is vitally important.
Organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), which are made from carbon-containing materials, have the potential to revolutionize future display technologies, making low-power displays so thin they'll wrap or fold around other structures, for instance.
