Glow-in-the-dark paints that have improved flexibility and transparency while also being cheaper and easier to manufacture are on the horizon courtesy of research from Kyushu University. In a demonstration, light emission lasting more than one hour was achieved from organic materials, which are also promising for unlocking new applications such as in bio-imaging.

Global RF and microwave components and equipment manufacturer, AtlanTecRF, has launched its new Multiple Frequency Comb Generator. The unit, which is supplied in a three unit high bench top case, is designed for use in up to the minute particle physics and material science research.The input signal is amplified to provide power to a comb generator.

Synopsys has announced the release of version 2017.09 of the Synopsys RSoft product portfolio, the company's industry-leading family of software tools for photonic component and optical communication system design, with important new features to streamline and enhance photonic and optoelectronic modeling. The RSoft Photonic Component Design Suite reduces development time with efficient analysis of silicon photonics components at the device, circu...

Advancement in nanoelectronics, which is the use of nanotechnology in electronic components, has been fueled by the ever-increasing need to shrink the size of electronic devices in a bid to produce smaller, faster and smarter gadgets such as computers, memory storage devices, displays and medical diagnostic tools.

With applications in devices such as lasers and solar panels, or as alternatives to the curved lenses in powerful microscopes or telescopes, metasurfaces — flat optical chips — offer unparalleled control of light.Created through a monolithic process, each tiny feature on a metasurface can perform its own unique light-scattering task — yet all of those features work together to perform a unified optical function.

Founded in 2006 in the city of Campinas, São Paulo State, Brazil, BR Labs began by developing lasers for universities and research institutions. The startup was a spinoff from the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) and the Center for Research into Optics and Photonics (CePOF), one of FAPESP’s Research, Innovation and Dissemination Centers (RIDCs).
