(Nanowerk News) Most images captured by a camera lens are flat and two dimensional. Increasingly, 3D imaging technologies are providing the crucial context of depth for scientific and medical ...

Optical components have joined the trend towards miniaturization. There have, however, been no methods available thus far to produce custom-sized glass lenses. A new process now enables the low-cost, ...

Angewandte Chemie International Edition – Proteins in focus: Dynamically tunable protein microdevices were built up by a simple “top-down”, maskless, femtosecond laser direct writing approach with ...

Scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a method of detecting trace amounts of biological or chemical agents in seconds, much faster than traditional methods which can take up ...

Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are on the verge of significant disruption through the unlocking of novel applications. This success largely relies on advanced wafer-level miniaturized photonic ...

A project at Fraunhofer Institute for Microstructure of Materials and Systems (Fraunhofer IMWS) has developed a new technique to modify the surfaces of eyeglass lenses as a treatment for ...

As a grape slowly dries and shrivels, its surface creases, ultimately taking on the wrinkled form of a raisin. Similar patterns can be found on the surfaces of other dried materials, as well as in ...

A Taiwan-based company called Beampro Technology has come up with a clever way to boost the brightness of LED-based lights without increasing their power consumption, or over-driving the electronics ...
