Xenics’ InGaAs SWIR detectors observe the earth out of space

Three of Xenics’ new Xlin-1.7-3000 SWIR InGaAs detectors are aboard the ESA satellite Proba-V to map vegetation patterns across the face of the earth. This data can be used for alerting authorities to crop failures or monitoring the spread of deserts and deforestation. The first images were captured over Western France on May 15, 2013.

Storms on Uranus, Neptune Confined to Upper Atmosphere

Shedding light on a long-standing mystery surrounding the cloudy worlds of Uranus and Neptune, scientists at the UA’s Lunar and Planetary Lab have discovered that the massive jet streams and weather phenomena associated with them appear to be ripples on the surface rather than extending deep into the planets' interior.

UA-Led Asteroid Mission is a Go

For the first time in space-exploration history, the mission will travel to and return pristine samples of a carbonaceous asteroid with known geologic context. Such samples are critical to understanding the origin of the solar system, Earth and life

Billion-year-old water could hold clues to life on Earth and Mars

A UK-Canadian team of scientists has discovered ancient pockets of water, which have been isolated deep underground for billions of years and contain abundant chemicals known to support life.

Herschel bows out with study that shows early galaxies ‘cooler’ than predicted

Physicists analysing observations from the Herschel Space Observatory have shown that galaxies in the early Universe were cooler than those we see around us today.

New Method of Finding Planets Scores its First Discovery

A team at Tel Aviv University and the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) has just discovered an exoplanet using a new method that relies on Einstein's special theory of relativity.

Single-pixel power: scientists make 3D images without a camera

Their system uses simple, cheap detectors which have just a single pixel to sense light instead of the millions of pixels used in the imaging sensors of digital cameras.

VITEC’s Rugged H.264 Encoders receive MIL-STD-810F and MIL-STD461 Certifications

Designed for extreme applications, the Optibase line of portable Media Gateway (MGW) encoders include MGW Premium

New 3D Defect Detection Fills Important Industry Gap

As device manufacturing technologiessizes shrink beyond 22 nm and increase in complexity, defects become more detrimental to device performance and harder to detect. PML scientists have developed a technique to create a 3D image quickly and non-destructively that can enable fast and non-destructive detection of defects at the nanometer level.

Cradle turns smartphone into handheld biosensor

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign researchers have developed a cradle and app for the iPhone that uses the phone’s built-in camera and processing power as a biosensor to detect toxins, proteins, bacteria, viruses and other molecules.

Molecular Devices launch of its next generation Axon Digidata® 1550 Digitizer

The Digidata 1550 Digitizer features eight independent analog output channels to simultaneously send command waveforms to multiple cells at one time, essential for higher throughput toxicology experiments or to study synaptic function in complex neuronal networks.

Given Imaging Announces New Data Highlighting PillCam(R) COLON Comparability to Colonoscopy in Detecting Adenomas

Secondary Analysis by Dr. Rex of sub-set of PillCam COLON trial data shows sensitivity for detecting adenomas that are at least 6 mm and 10 mm to be 88% and 92% respectively and specificity to be 82% and 95% respectively
