Tag: lightContact Lenses that Respond to Light UV-responsive dyes embedded in contact lenses can quickly adapt. Building the World's Most Powerful Laser New lasers will be key to making fusion energy and proton therapy practical. Nobel for Revolutionary Optical Technologies The Nobel Prize in physics was awarded to a fiber-optics pioneer and the inventors of digital-imaging chips. Nanoparticle inks that fade away in hours could be ideal for secure communications. Flexible arrays of bright inorganic LEDs could mean cheaper displays and lighting. Dye-doped DNA nanofibers can be tuned to emit different colors of light. OLEDs could soon give fluorescent lighting a run for its money. Hybrid proteins that respond to light could reveal the biochemistry of addiction. A new technique pushes the boundaries of super-resolution light microscopy. New E-Paper Technology Speeds Up Research shows that photonic crystals can change color as quickly as other technologies. Nanocrystals could light the way to using LEDs to replace the lightbulb. Adobe is developing software to let home users create movie-quality 3-D graphics. Silicon Lasers Get Up to Speed A new silicon-based laser emits the short, high-frequency light pulses that are necessary for today's telecommunications networks. A Deeper Look at Living Things A glowing red protein could illuminate disease processes. A new animated lighting system lets movie directors improve shots in seconds. |
