New method “rapidFLIM” for the dynamic Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (FLIM).
BMW Group expands the use of 3D printers
BMW Group believe that additive technologies will be one of the main production methods of the future
One-Pot Synthesis of Yolk-Shell Microspheres
Liu et al. have developed a template-free, one-pot synthesis of amphoteric Janus-type yolk-shell nanoparticles (YSN) with dual adsorption capability.
Advanced Optical Materials Top 5 – August 2016
The month’s top articles from the field of nanooptics, optoelectronics, optical devices, detectors & sensors, micro/nano resonators and more.
Light-driven soft robot mimics caterpillar locomotion in natural scale
Scientists have now created a light-driven soft micro robot to mimic caterpillar locomotion in natural scale.
Efficient radiative pumping of polaritons in a strongly coupled microcavity
This analysis demonstrated that the polariton states are most likely formed when the excited dye molecules in the cavity emit a photon, with this photon then directly exciting the photon-like part of the polariton.
Architectural control and process limitations of porous bioceramics
Researchers optimized then evaluated the reliability and robustness of a bioceramic manufacturing process based on the impregnation of 3D-printed mold.
easySTORM: High resolution – low costs
easySTORM: a robust, lower-cost approach to localization and TIRF microscopy A broad range of new microscopy methodologies have recently been introduced collectively referred to as “super-resolved microscopy (SRM)”. They offer resolution measured in tens of nanometers...
3D printing of complex micro-objectives
Researchers at University of Stuttgart created optical lenses which are hardly larger than a human hair.
