In this episode of Photonics Hot List:
Using a new approach they’ve designed, researchers from the Institute of Applied Physics at the University of Bonn in Germany can now imprint a simple lattice structure on a super photon, which could someday make communication tap-proof.
Fiber laser manufacturer IPG Photonics has officially ended all activity in Russia with the sale of its Russian subsidiary, IRE-Polus. And in other business news, Lightwave Logic has named Thomas Connelly Jr. (executive director and CEO of the American Chemical Society) and Yves LeMaitre (a strategic board advisor with Trumpf Photonic Components) to its Board of Directors.
A team from the Quantum Biology Lab at Howard University in Washington D.C. is looking at amyloid fibrils—long seen as a cause of Alzheimer’s and dementia—from a new perspective. They’ve discovered that a quantum optical effect could potentially transform researchers’ understanding of neurological diseases.
