Tag: opticsWrapping Solar Cells around an Optical Fiber Dye-sensitized cells get a double boost from nanowires and optical fiber. Embedding microlenses in thin films could bring 3-D movies and games to mobile devices. Building the World's Most Powerful Laser New lasers will be key to making fusion energy and proton therapy practical. An energy-efficient silicon device compresses light to make ultrafast signals. Surface-plasmon lasers could enable a new generation of computers based on nanophotonics. A Superlens That Assembles Itself Easily made nanolenses can perform superhigh-resolution lithography and imaging. Silicon Chip Spots Blood Proteins A microfluidic chip that integrates a light sensor detects blood proteins. An ultrasound lens could be used for high-resolution clinical imaging. Transferring the state of separated ions could point the way to quantum computing. Invisibility-Cloak Breakthrough New software has enabled metamaterials to work with a broad band of frequencies. A new, high-resolution imaging system captures "early" photons. The camera will offer sharper, broader views of the sky. Researchers have made new nano building blocks for optical computing and solar-cell coatings. Advances in adaptive optics are bringing the universe into focus. |
