Exail acquires laser company Leukos

Scientists are exploring new ways to get around limitations on the lithography machines used to produce microchips. Researchers are using particle accelerators to create new laser sources that could lay the foundation for the future of semiconductor manufacturing.Plans are underway to build a particle accelerator with a circumference between 100 and 150 meters (328 and 492 feet), about the size of...

Tunoptix, a developer of computational meta-optics, based in Seattle, WA, has made what it calls “a breakthrough in mobile-scale spectral imaging”. The company’s latest meta-optical platform captures high-fidelity spectral signatures across the visible-to-NIR spectrum in a compact form factor smaller than 1 cm3, consuming less than 500 mW, and operating at real-time frame rates.Tunoptix’s ultra-c...
