Expanding its PIMag series of high dynamics linear motor stages, PI has added two new models and a new motion controller. Stages are equipped with incremental and absolute-type linear encoders for direct position measurement and ironless 3-phase motors and single-phase voice-coil drives.

A training tool forOphir Photonics Group'slaser beam profiling system, BeamGage, has been announced. 'Understanding BeamGage: The BeamGage Training DVD' provides an in-depth look at how to get the most from your laser using this powerful analysis software. Presented in 14 video chapters, the training covers the features and power of BeamGage.

Researchers have developed a type of light-enhancing optical cavity that is only 200 nm tall and 100 nm across. Their new nanoscale system represents a step toward brighter single-photon sources, which could help propel quantum-based encryption and a truly secure and future-proofed network.Quantum encryption techniques, which are seen as likely to be central to future data encryption methods, use individual photons as an extremely secure way to e...

Researchers at The University of Nottingham have developed a breakthrough technique that uses sound rather than light to see inside live cells, with potential application in stem-cell transplants and cancer diagnosis.The nanoscale ultrasound technique uses shorter-than-optical wavelengths of sound and could even rival the optical super-resolution techniques which won the 2014 Nobel Prize for Chemistry.

The annual 'IBM 5 in 5' has been unveiled by IBM – a list of innovations with the potential to change the way people work, live, and interact during the next five years.In 1609, Galileo invented the telescope and saw our cosmos in an entirely new way. He proved the theory that Earth and other planets in our solar system revolve around the Sun, which until then was impossible to observe.

The latest release of the RSoft Photonic System Design Suite, software for the design of optical communication systems and Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) at the signal propagation level has been announced by Synopsys. Version 2016.12 of the RSoft Photonic System Design Suite includes important enhancements to its optical fibre and PIC simulation capabilities.

A simple solution-based electrical doping technique could help reduce the cost of polymer solar cells and organic electronic devices, potentially expanding the applications for these technologies. By enabling production of efficient single-layer solar cells, the new process could help move organic photovoltaics into a new generation of wearable devices and enable small-scale distributed power generation.

ams AG announced the AS7221, a white-tunable smart lighting manager. Lighting manufacturers designing with the AS7221 can now quickly integrate high-precision CCT, or 'Kelvin-tuning', capabilities into their IoT smart lighting offerings. The versatile architecture, which includes an I2C extension interface, positions the AS7221 to deliver Internet of Awareness IoT sensor hub platform capabilities for sensing functions such as air quality, tempera...

The CINAP within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have developed three key components of a circuit that works with light. Published inNature Communications, these devices combine the advantages of photonics and electronics on the same platform.While we are slowing approaching the end point of Moore's Law: a state where we physically cannot shrink the dimension of our transistors much further; the future of big data processing requires high p...

The preeflow eco-DUO330 from Intertronics helps to meet the need for smaller, more precise and ever more repeatable metering, mixing and dispensing units for two-part materials. It also helps to improve micro-dosing for two component systems and can provide dosages as small as 0.2 to 32ml/min with complete repeatability. This is expected to be of value in the fields of medical device manufacturing, optics, photonics, electronics assembly, biochem...
