Expanding our scientific understanding often boils down to observing what is happening as closely as possible. Now, researchers from Japan have observed the nanoscale behavior of azo polymer films and triggered them with lasers.In a study published in Nano Express last month, researchers at Osaka University used a combination of cutting-edge scanning high-speed atomic force microscopy and optical ...

Earlier this month, GeoCue, a liDAR mapping hardware and software provider, announced the launch of three new products for its TrueView 3D imaging system. These new systems combine laser scanning and high-resolution imaging, including the TV625, TV680 and TV680LR. All three systems are NDAA-compliant.All three systems are designed to be used in conjunction with drones, and the company note...

From detecting COVID in respiration to monitoring greenhouse gas concentrations, laser technology called frequency combs can recognize specific molecules as simple as carbon dioxide to as complex as monoclonal antibodies, with unparalleled accuracy and sensitivity. Although frequency combs have incredible capabilities, their ability to capture high-speed processes such as hypersonic propulsion or ...

Panacol will showcase new optical grade resins and adhesives for embossing and optical bonding applications at the SPIE Photonics West exhibition held in San Francisco, California, USA from January 30 to February 1, 2024.These new adhesives can be used for sensors in lightweight carpets, smart devices, and wearable devices in the automotive industry, or for generating structured light in projector...
