Results for "laser"
Breakthrough in whispering gallery mode sensors
Researchers have demonstrated free-space laser excitation of whispering gallery modes in vertically suspended oil droplets, recording Q-factors of over 105.
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.
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.
A new trick from liquid crystalline elastomers – responsive cell culture scaffolds
Biocompatible, biodegradable and porous LC elastomers were used as viable, soft scaffolds for cell growth and proliferation in a spatial (3D) fashion.
Processes optimisation and up-scaling for graphene delivery
The NanoMaster Project is reporting exciting results related to graphene and expanded graphite production and the development of novel nanocomposite intermediates.
Cancer treatment based on PLGA microparticles
Researchers have developed a cancer imaging and therapy agent composed of PLGA microparticles encapsulating a perfluorocarbon liquid core.
Fluorescence microscopy research wins 2014 Nobel Prize in Chemistry
Eric Betzig, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Stefan Hell, Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, and William Moerner, Stanford University, share award for the development of super-resolved fluorescence microscopy.
LEDs win Japanese researchers 2014 Nobel Prize in Physics
2014 Nobel Prize in Physics awarded to inventors of efficient blue LEDs.
Hybrid graphene–giant nanocrystal quantum dot assemblies
New work shows that new class of nanocrystals coupled to graphene causes bi-excitons to experience recombination and simultaneous emission of photon pairs.
