GaN
Transistor Bests Silicon
The first GaN metal/oxide semiconductor
field-effect transistor (MOSFET) of its kind performs better than silicon transistors
in high-power and high-temperature electronics, RPI reported. |

Lasers Align Molecules
The need to crystallize human proteins for
synchrotron x-ray diffraction was eliminated by scientists who used lasers to
align large groups of the molecules. |
Device
Could Measure USPs
An
instrument that reveals spherical aberrations in optical components
could help facilitate measuring ultrashort-laser pulses. |
Nanowires Fabbed on Silicon
Nanowire
devices were made by combining silicon integrated-circuit
technology with photolithography. |
Robot Scans Silver Mine
A laser scanning robot named 3D-R1 captured more than 5 GBs of data used to
map a silver mine in Mexico. |

Costly Lasers Use LED Light Source
For
more than 40 years, visible organic lasers have required
another laser to make them shine. Now plastic
lasers have been developed at the University of St.
Andrews that convert light from LEDs and can be tuned
to every color of the rainbow. The lasers reportedly
can be created at a fraction of the cost of existing
technology and could be suitable in applications such
as medical diagnostics or explosives sensing. (Photo
