Remember the computer triode? Unless you’re an early-tech enthusiast, it’s unlikely. Used as switches in the first electronic computers, these vacuum tubes consumed a great deal of power. They were unreliable and upon the invention of silicon chips, were quickly replaced. A new material has the potential to shift entire industries. Here, Kari Hjelt, Head of Innovation ofGraphene Flagshipexplains how graphene is set to do the same.

On 8th May 2020, the Chinese government issued the guidelines of preventing and controlling COVID-19. On 9th May, the emergency response level of major public health emergencies in Shanghai was adjusted to level 3. On 11th May, the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Commerce and Shanghai Convention & Exhibition Industries Association published the notice and guidelines of preventing and controlling the epidemic on organising exhibitions.

Imec and CST Global have announced the successful integration of InP distributed feedback (DFB) lasers from CST Global’s InP100 platform into imec’s integrated silicon photonics platform (iSiPP). Interfaces for hybrid integration of InP DFB lasers and reflective semiconductor optical amplifiers (RSOA) will become available as part of imec’s silicon photonics prototyping services in the first half of 2021, following further optim...

European photonics scientists are developing an ultrasensitive laser sensor that detects coronavirus at the earliest point of infection from a saliva or nasal swab in minutes.

Described as a cost effective and flexible single channel instrument specifically designed to accelerate development of next generation mmWave communications, satellite communications, and radar applications, Keysight Technologies has launched the UXR0051AP Infiniium UXR-Series oscilloscope.

Harnessing photonics, European scientists have created a new mammographic imaging system that determines benign or malignant breast lesions - spelling an end for unnecessary biopsies and anguish for millions of women.

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has strongly impacted developments in China. Following the directives of the Government of Shanghai Municipality to prevent and control the virus from spreading, Messe München Shanghai was compelled at the beginning of February to postpone electronica China, productronica China and LASER World of PHOTONICS CHINA, which were planned to take place in March.

Imec, Medtronicand theirproject partners have announcedthe launch oftheH2020 projectInSiDe. The objective ofInSiDeis to provide access for the medical community to amobilediagnostic device based on silicon photonics to identify and characterise different stages of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The deviceoffers fast, flexible and patient-friendlymonitoring of CVD,keeping patients in their home environmentwhilestill being abletoclosely follow-up an...

The European Commission has decided to expand the existing photonics pilot-line offering by funding the establishment of MedPhab pilot-line under Horizon 2020, the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation. Photonics is based on combining optics and electronics, and it enables various medical applications from diagnostic devices to instruments for treatment.

CPI has announced that the company has been awarded ISO 13485:2016 certification, the international standard for medical device quality management systems. ISO 13485 specifies a quality management system that can demonstrate the ability to produce medical devices that consistently meet safety, customer, and regulatory requirements.
