Barrier coatings are vital to coated papers and flexible solar modules to protect against external influences that may impair quality. EU-funded scientists developed a metrology system for fast measurement of defects present in thin barrier films, aiding the manufacture of roll-to-roll barrier coatings in large volumes.Small defects in thin films used in products such as polymer-coated paper and low-cost, flexible PVs can decrease product quality...

The rapid proliferation of Big Data, cloud and in-memory computing - and the consequent data explosion - is making a strong case for the greater 'technologification' of BI (Business Intelligence) solutions. As data is captured from diverse sources and in structured, unstructured and semi-structured formats, enterprises are focusing on sophisticated BI technologies that can enhance data collection, deliver actionable insights, and boost their comp...

In the original 'Star Wars' movie, the inviting but grainy special effects hologram might soon be a true full-color, full-size holographic image, due to advances by a South Korean research team refining3D holographic displays.The team described a novel tabletop display system that allows multiple viewers to simultaneously view a hologram showing a full 3D image as they walk around the tabletop, giving complete 360-degree access. The paper was pub...

Researchers at Missouri University of Science and Technology are creating a new approach to reconstruct3Dfull-colour holographic images by using just one layer of nanoscale metallic film. This work has a huge potential to change our daily lives by equipping our cell phones with3Dfloating displays and printing3D security marking onto credit cards.

Optical microscopy experts at Colorado State University are once again pushing the envelope of biological imaging.Jeffrey Field, a research scientist in electrical engineering and director of CSU's Microscope Imaging Network, has designed and built a fluorescence-detection microscope that combines three-dimensional and high-resolution image processing that's also faster than comparable techniques.

A recent discovery published in Nature Physics provides an innovative technique for calculating the shapes of electrons. This finding will help scientists gain a better and faster understanding of the properties of complex materials. Dr. Emanuele Dalla Torre, from Bar-Ilan University, together with Dr. Yang He and Prof. Eugene Demler, from Harvard University, used holographic logic to compile an algorithm for visualising the shape of an electron ...

So-called spatial light modulators that serve as a base for all LCDs, among other things, can be arranged so that each pixel can switch the light quickly, making it brighter or weaker by rotating the polarisation of light. According to Tatyana Dolgova, senior researcher of the Laboratory of Nanophotonics and Metamaterials, Faculty of Physics, MSU, these fast, new spatial light modulators can be used when creating holographic memory, three-dimensi...

Sound can now be structured in three dimensions. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems and the University of Stuttgart have found a way of generating acoustic holograms, which could improve ultrasound diagnostics and material testing. The holograms can also be used to move and manipulate particles.Peer Fischer, a Research Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems and Professor at the University o...

By carefully arranging many nanoblocks to form pixels on a metasurface, researchers have demonstrated that they can manipulate incoming visible light in just the right way to create a colour "meta-hologram." The method of creating holograms has an order of magnitude higher reconstruction efficiency than similar color meta-holograms, and has applications for various types of 3D colour holographic displays and achromatic planar lenses.

A futuristic education concept, born out of the way technology has changed the way we think and focus, has been introduced by producer of renewable fuels, Neste. EduCycle enables real life simulation of the natural world and the carbon cycle’s role in it.
