Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have demonstrated that nanometer-scale alloys possess the ability to emit light so bright they could have potential applications in medicine.

To my mind, the excitement of biophotonics research is surpassed only by its transfer to the larger world, where it can benefit humanity.

Chicago, IL--UIC researchers have developed a way to introduce precisely four copper "guest" ions into each and every quantum dot to produce spectacular colors.

I work at the University of Arizona in the Tissue Optics Lab, led by Dr. Jennifer K. Barton. Our lab focuses on developing and using optical imaging methods for disease detection and monitoring.

Tissue fluorescence visualization technology developer LED Medical Diagnostics is part of a recent clinical study documenting the ability of the company's VELscope Vx Enhanced Oral Assessment adjunctive technology to detect cancerous and precancerous lesions that are missed by conventional exams.

Birkeroed, Denmark--NKT Photonics will demonstrate the world's first tunable deep-UV supercontinuum-powered light source at LASER World of Photonics 2013 in Munich.

Brussels, Belgium--At the Photonics21 Annual Meeting the group presented the Photonics Multiannual Strategic Roadmap Towards 2020 – Photonics Driving Economic Growth in Europe to Neelie Kroes, Vice-President of the European Commission.

A team of French researchers have developed a dye that fluoresces in the near-infrared (NIR) and can pass through the skin, enabling brain study with unprecedented detail.

Researchers at Purdue University have found a way to see synthetic nanostructures and molecules using a new type of super-resolution optical microscopy that does not require fluorescent dyes, representing a practical tool for biomedical and nanotechnology research.
