Terahertz laser for sensing and imaging outperforms its predecessors

A new terahertz laser is the first to reach three key performance goals at once -- high constant power, tight beam pattern, and broad electric frequency tuning -- and could thus be valuable for a wide range of applications in chemical sensing and imaging. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181211112936.htm

Better biomedical devices, wearable displays may result from tiny light-guiding structures

For the first time, researchers have fabricated light-guiding structures known as waveguides just over one micron wide in a clear silicone commonly used for biomedical applications. The tiny, flexible waveguides can be used to make light-based devices such as biomedical sensors and endoscopes that are smaller and more complex than currently possible. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181211112926.htm

New method gives microscope a boost in resolution

Scientists have been able to boost current super-resolution microscopy by a novel tweak. They coated the glass cover slip as part of the sample carrier with tailor-made biocompatible nanosheets that create a 'mirror effect'. This method shows that localizing single emitters in front of a metal-dielectric coating leads to higher precision, brightness and contrast in Single Molecule Localization Microscopy (SMLM). from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181211103106.htm

Green production of chemicals for industry

Industry consumes large quantities of crude oil to produce basic substances for drugs, cosmetics, plastics, or food. However, these processes consume a lot of energy and produce waste. Biological processes with enzymes are far more sustainable. The protein molecules can catalyze various chemical reactions without auxiliary materials or solvents being required. But they are expensive and, hence, have been economically unattractive so far. Researchers have now developed a new biomaterial that considerably facilitates the use of enzymes. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181211103103.htm

Online game trains players how to sort waste correctly

A simple online game can teach people to more accurately sort waste -- with lasting results, a new study has found. Study participants who played the game received immediate feedback on their sorting choices. The second time they played -- when feedback was no longer provided -- players still improved their average accuracy from 69 per cent to 84 per cent. Even when a week passed between games, players still improved their accuracy. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181211073255.htm
