The lower image is an illustration of the optical phased array, while the upper two panels are scanning electron microscope images of the array (left) and an individual element of the array (right).

It was not too long ago that basic science lectures began with the three forms of matter: gases, liquids and solids—and somewhere along the line plasmas were occasionally added to the list. But to be ...

Light waves have a similar role in lidar to that of radio waves in radar: a lidar sensor sends out and receives information encoded in light pulses, and the system uses this information to make a map ...

Researchers have developed a novel material using tiny organic crystals that convert light into a substantial mechanical force able to lift 1,000 times its own mass. Without the need for heat or ...

The research conducted is on technology to display natural three-dimensional (3D) images according to the viewer’s eye position. By using an electrically switchable light source array *1, a display ...

Light enters a two-dimensional ring-resonator array from the lower left and exits at the lower right. Light that follows the edge of the array (blue) does not suffer energy loss and exits after a ...

One of the challenges of optical microscopy is to continually increase the imaging power, or resolution. In the past three hundred odd years, scientists have been building ever-better microscopes. The ...

Beckman Coulter Life Sciences is lighting up microbioreactor research with its powerful new Light Array Module (LAM) for the popular BioLector XT Microbioreactor. For the first time, this new ...

It was not too long ago that basic science lectures began with the three forms of matter: gases, liquids and solids–and somewhere along the line plasmas were occasionally added to the list. But to be ...

The light array features opto-mechanical alignment with bright red emitter beams spaced 70 mm apart for easy set-up and installation. To ensure effective light-guided assembly in diverse applications, ...
