EFFECT Photonics has announced that it will be exhibiting at the ECOC Virtual Exhibition. Join Effect Photonics, along with over 300 international exhibitors at ECOC Exhibition 2020, for three days of networking, business, sharing ideas, learning, and discussing new trends.

Strong investment in photonics will help us fight infectious diseases that kill an unimaginable number of people and prepare us against future pandemics, says Dr Jürgen Popp of the Leibniz Center for Photonics in Infection Research (LPI) that is currently under construction in Jena.

Additively manufactured electronics is an emerging approach that takes printed electronics into the third dimension. Printing both structural material and conductive traces offers benefits that include extensive design freedom, rapid development iterations, and more compact devices.

CPI has announced its participation in a collaborative project – termed the Quantum Sensors project – to develop sensors for quality assessment and battery grading in the manufacturing line. This project will advance electric vehicle battery manufacturing in the UK and overcome cost barriers to enable the widespread adoption of electric vehicles.

The end of scrubbing ovens and home appliances with chemicals or heat could soon be in sight, thanks to a new high power laser system being developed to put ‘self-cleaning’, grease-repellent and antibacterial properties into sheet metal. Teaming up with appliance giant Bosch, the European photonics consortium behind the system could soon see their technology create fluid-repellent surfaces fitted inside the next generation of dishwash...

Today we are celebrating International Women’s Day (IWD), a day when countries all over the world celebrate the achievements of women. IWD has been observed since the early 1900s and each year the organisers choose a new theme as a banner under which they can unify the direction of everyone’s efforts and help raise awareness. This year’s theme is 'Choose to Challenge' and we can all choose to challenge and call out gender bias a...

IMM Photonics has announced that it is taking over distribution of Iridian Spectral Technologies products. The Canadian company develops and produces optical filters for the wavelength range from 340 nm to 10μm, and, from the beginning of next year, also down to 15μm.

All military programmes are valuable contracts to secure as they are typically long-term commitments that will generate stable future revenue for the businesses. The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II (previously known as Joint Strike Fighter/JSF) programme falls into this category, dating back to the late 1990s when the need for a 5th Generation aircraft began to evolve.

European photonics scientists have developed a new ‘autocorrect’ image processing algorithm to reduce X-ray scatter, meaning children can receive safer, high contrast, low dose X-rays.Clinicians will be able to take a low radiation, digital X-ray image - without the need for an anti-scatter grid - thanks to new innovative ‘scattering suppression software’.

To help ensure equal and inclusive work conditions in STEM,European research initiative, theGraphene Flagship, is holding acareer eventas part of itsDiversity in Grapheneprogramme.TheDiversity in Graphene Career Event2021is a digital event, taking place over two days, 8th to 9th March 2021. The first day will include sessions on topics from equal opportunities in STEM, to the experiences of diverse Graphene Flagship speakers working in industry a...
