Measuring skin rejuvenation with two-photon microscopy
In vivo and non-invasive: Collagen remodeling after micro-ablative fractional laser resurfacing can be monitored by two-photon microscopy.
A synergetic pairing: epifluorescent microscopy and electrophoretic microarrays
Detection of nanoparticles and DNA biomarkers at clinically relevant low levels can be achieved by combining epifluorescent microscopy with dielectrophoretic microarrays.
Organic semiconductors for visible light communications
Star-shaped organic semiconductors based on boron dipyromethene cores could be alternative color conversion materials for VLC.
Second-order nonlinearity with silicon waveguides
Newly published describes the generation of a second order nonlinear susceptibility in silicon by the introduction of an inhomogeneous strain.
Preparing quantum-dot-dense liquid crystal composites
Researchers have demonstrated a method to prepare hybrid organic-inorganic multifunctional liquid crystal composites with high quantum dot content.
Metamaterials 2014
A report from the Metamaterials 2014 conference, held from 25 to 30 August in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Photo-induced anomalous deformation of PNIPAM gels
PNIPA gels are hybridized with uniaxially aligned inorganic liquid crystalline nanosheet and adsorbed with a dye deform anisotropically by photo-irradiation.
Beam-steering on a liquid crystal grating
Researchers demonstrate that beam steering using self-organized cholesteric liquid crystals containing a light-driven chiral molecular switch.
Etching doped silicon to produce perfect plasmonic absorbers
