• LEDs give birth to a new class of sensors
  A group of scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (Madison, WI) have shed light on a valuable new use for LEDs by demonstrating their usefulness as chemical sensors.
• SpectraCode breaks black-plastics recycling barrier
  By combining its high-resolution Raman imaging spectrograph with a modified probe that uses a sampling technique called distributed focusing, the firm can extract a definitive signature from most black plastics in less than half a second.
• Hoya meets technological milestone in laser-glass-slab manufacture
  A major technological milestone in optical glass melting has been achieved by Hoya Corp. USA (Fremont, CA). The firm is using a novel continuous glass melting system (approximately 150 feet long and two stories high) to produce 20 tons of high quality laser glass per month
• Multisensor probe targets real-time detection of breast cancer tumors
  Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL; Livermore, CA) and NASA Ames Research Center are partnering with BioLuminate Inc. (San Jose, CA) to commercialize a prototype tool for cancer detection called a Smart Probe.
• Los Alamos scientists shed new light on quantum computing
  Scientists at the Department of Energy's Los Alamos National Laboratory (Los Alamos, NM) and the University of Queensland's Centre for Quantum Computer Technology in Australia have made an advance in the quest for a functional quantum computer by exploiting quanta of light or photons in a novel way.
