Optics and Photonics News
- Researchers at the University of Adelaide, as part of an international team, have developed an approach that makes advanced microscopy possible through an optical fiber thinner than a human hair.
- What do motion detectors, self-driving cars, chemical analyzers and satellites have in common? They all contain detectors for infrared (IR) light. At their core and besides readout electronics, such detectors usually consist of a crystalline semiconductor material.
Ultrafast laser experiments pave way to better industrial catalysts
Nanotechnology News
- Scientists developed next-generation energy technology to produce eco-friendly hydrogen from ingredients in coffee.
Prof. Franky So published an article
Remember this annoying color change when you look at your screen at different angles? Professor So group at NCSU Materials Science and Engineering department offers a solution. The article is published in The Journal of the Society for Information Display (https://doi.org/10.1002/jsid.792)
Power outage on NCSU Centennial campus
The power has been restored. All IMAKS instruments are up and running. Good luck with your experiments.
IMAKS is preparing for power outage
All power will be down on NCSU Centennial campus starting at 7:30 a.m. on Sunday, June 2 . The crews will connect power lines to newly constructed buildings. As a result, all instruments have to be powered down and unplugged from wall outlets.
Lab temperature today
The facilities were planning to do work on secondary power lines (emergency lights, signs, and such). Accidentally, this morning they switched off the HVAC system and lab hoods. As a result, the lab got hot beyond the operating range of ultrafast lasers. facilities have been contacted. The temperature is getting to normal now. We anticipate we can start running experiments around 11 a.m.
Congratulations!
