A team from Helmholtz Munich and the Technical University of Munich have developed a microscope that shows living cells’ bioluminescent signals brighter and sharper than is possible with conventional bioluminescence technology, which tends to emit light that’s too faint to produce highly detailed images. It surpasses fluorescence imaging approaches, too, which can interfere with cell behavior.
A £25 million investment is moving growth plans forward for Photonic. The Canadian startup, which is working to develop quantum computers based on optically linked silicon spin qubits, is expanding into the U.K. with a new research site. And Volantis will receive $9 million in seed funding to develop photonic interconnects based on densely parallel optical waveguides.
A group of scientists from Boston University, the University of California Berkeley, and Northwestern University have demonstrated the world’s first electronic-photonic-quantum system on a chip. The technology combines quantum light sources and stabilizing electronics using a standard 45-nm semiconductor manufacturing process to produce streams of correlated photon pairs.
