Make way for startups at LASER World of PHOTONICS 2017
The success of photonics in the global innovation scenerests on three pillars: scientific excellence, inventiveness and a pioneering spirit. Many companies exhibiting at LASER World of PHOTONICS were only founded within the past 30 years and there is a continuous conveyor belt of new startups. From 26th-29thJune 2017 they will take pride of place in Munich at the Start-Up World and Photonics Award - organised in collaboration with the Anwendungsz...
Laser imaging 'bowl' gives instant test for breast cancer
In a bid to make the world's first while-you-wait test for breast cancer, European scientists are developing a comfortable hemispherical bowl lined with laser sources and ultrasound detectors with the potential to reduce the stages in spotting the disease into a single appointment.Current breast cancer diagnosis can be distressing and painful over a number of weeks.

World's brightest laser reveals different behaviour in light
Physicists from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln are observing an everyday phenomenon in a new light.By focusing laser light to a brightness one billion times greater than the surface of the sun - the brightest light ever produced on Earth - the physicists have observed changes in a vision-enabling interaction between light and matter.Those changes yielded unique X-ray pulses with the potential to generate extremely high-resolution imagery usef...
Screen coating takes its inspiration from moth eyes
Screens on even the newest phones and tablets can be hard to read outside in bright sunlight. Inspired by the nanostructures found on moth eyes, researchers have developed a new antireflection film that could keep people from having to run to the shade to look at their mobile devices.The antireflection film exhibits a surface reflection of just 23%, much lower than the iPhone's surface reflection of 4.4%, for example.
