Two Berkeley Lab research projects awarded grants by the Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy to advance energy technologies.
Potential cancer treatment from Rice University
Researchers at Rice University have found a way to kill some diseased cells and treat others in the same sample at the same time.
Perovskite oxides: Group demonstrates technique for engineering ‘perfect’ heterointerfaces
Scientists engineer a chemically stable and atomically sharp lanthanum aluminate monolayer between LaAlO3 and strontium titanate heterostructures.
The bobtail squid: a natural diffraction grating
American scientists have harnessed the Hawaiian bobtail squid’s ability to modulate color.
New avenue to integrated fiber technology
Researchers have given an overview of the principal inscription techniques and physical properties of fs pulse written in-fiber gratings for fiber optics.

Stuart S.P. Parkin to Receive 2012 Von Hippel Award
IBM Fellow to receive the Material Research Society’s highest honor.
More signal less noise: inproved nonlinear optical imaging
A superior signal to noise ratio for heterodyne detected nonlinear optical imaging can be attained by a newly developed tuned amplifier system in a lock-in free manner, as demonstrated through stimulated Raman scattering imaging of live cells and tissues.
Highly Unidirectional Emission from Ultrahigh-Q Microcavities
A new type of on-chip microcavities has been realized, which features both highly unidirectional emission and ultra-high-Q factors in the near infrared.
Special Issue: Lab-on-a-Chip Based Diagnostics
The issue aims to provide a representative and comprehensive overview on the broad range of current biophotonics on-chip, spanning the full range from chip fabrication to applications in biomedical sensing and related fields.
