Modern alchemy creates luminescent iron molecules
A group of researchers at Lund University in Sweden have made the first iron-based molecule capable of emitting light. This could contribute to the development of affordable and environmentally friendly materials for e.g. solar cells, light sources and displays.For over 50 years, chemists have developed metal-based dye molecules for a wide range of different applications, such as displays and solar cells.
Picosecond laser suits industrial and scientific applications
The PiXea is a stand-alone picosecond laser dedicated for the most demanding industrial and scientific applications in the 375 nm to 2 um spectral range. This very-low timing-jitter laser from AUREA Technology performs very sharp pulses width down to 20 ps with a continuously tuning of the repetition rate up to 100 MHzand a peak power up to 500 mW.
New short pulse duration seed drivers
Laser Components has announced a new addition to the seed driver family, with the latest driver being the BFPS-VRHSP-02 by PicoLAS.
Technology protects hydraulic systems and reduces operating costs
Introducing a new range of hydraulic filter elements, Bosch Rexroth has designed them to incorporate new materials that deliver optimum performance while reducing operating costs through increased service life.The new range of elements, known as PURE POWER, has been designed using new micro-glass material to retain 50% more contaminant particles than the range it is replacing.
Brain circuit that drives pleasure-inducing behaviour identified
Scientists have long believed that the central amygdala, a structure located deep within the brain, is linked with fear and responses to unpleasant events.However, a team of MIT neuroscientists has now discovered a circuit in this structure that responds to rewarding events. In a study of mice, activating this circuit with certain stimuli made the animals seek those stimuli further.
tinyAVR MCUs increase system throughput
Microchip has announced further expansion of its AVR microcontroller (MCU) portfolio with the addition of three new devices to the tinyAVR MCU family. The new ATtiny1617 series of MCUs expands the range of AVR devices that feature Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs), which help to increase system throughput while lowering overall power consumption.
Software upgrade enables CAN FD decoding
CAN FD decoding has been added to its PicoScope 6 software by Pico Technology. This software, available free of charge for all PicoScope oscilloscopes, delivers advanced features such as serial decoding, channel math, mask limit testing and spectrum analysis, while maintaining a clear, uncluttered display with easy-to-use controls.
Bulk GaN: from technology to market
The 'More than Moore' market research and strategy consulting company, Yole has released a new technology and market report focused on Bulk GaN substrate, titled 'Bulk GaN Substrate Market'.
Gold coating could control luminescence of nanowires
Physicists at the University of Cincinnati are working to harness the power of nanowires, microscopic wires that have the potential to improve solar cells or revolutionisefibreoptics.Nanotechnology has the potential to solve the bottleneck that occurs in storing or retrieving digital data - or could store data in a completely new way. UC professors and their graduate students presented their research at the March 13 conference of the American Phy...
Imaging at the speed of light
Tiny micro- and nanoscale structures within a material's surface are invisible to the naked eye, but play a big role in determining a material's physical, chemical, and biomedical properties.Over the past few years, Chunlei Guo and his research team at the University of Rochester have found ways to manipulate those structures by irradiating laser pulses to a material's surface. They've altered materials to make them repel water, attract water, an...
