Biological Sciences in LIGHT

The cross-faculty nature of LIGHT is represented by both the collaborations within Multidisciplinary Cardiovascular Research Centre and the co-location of researchers from the Faculties of Medicine and Health and that of Biological Sciences in the LIGHT laboratories. This interdisciplinary approach, integrating basic science and clinical research, is a strong feature of the LIGHT laboratories. A number of research areas are covered by Biological Sciences staff in LIGHT in relation to the overall research strategy of the Institute and these are introduced briefly below.

New "Sunglasses" Help Astronomers See Light Near Black Holes

Although we can't actually see a black hole, we can see the black hole's effect on nearby matter. But even that is difficult because infrared light from clouds of dust and gas usually pollutes the view. But astronomers have found a way to get a clean view of the disks surrounding black holes by using a polarizing filter in the infrared. This technique works in particular when the region immediately surrounding the black hole emits a small amount of scattered light. Since scattered light is polarized, astronomers can use a filter that works like polarized sunglasses on large telescopes to detect this small amount of scattered light and measure it with unprecedented accuracy. Scientists have theorized these luminous disks existed around black holes, but until now have not been able to observe them.

'Slow' Light To Speed Up the Net

JPawlak writes "Researchers believe that it may be possible to increase the speed of the Internet by slowing down certain parts of it by using metamaterials. Metamaterials could be used to replace the bulky and slow electronics that route Internet information, allowing for faster Internet speeds. As data nears its destination, the frequencies must be separated. The light must then be converted into electrical signals, which are stored, routed, and converted back into optical signals. The conversion not only adds significant cost and complexity to the process, but slows down the transmission as well. However, if the light signals could be slowed during the switching process, they would not need to be converted into an electrical signal. 'The ability to slow the light could be a tremendous force for telecoms that is sure to enhance speed an

Toshiba Announces New Photo-IC Ambient Light Sensor for Consumer Electronics and Computer Displays

IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. (TAEC)* introduced the TPS859, a new ultra-compact device, to its family of photo-IC ambient light sensors (ALS). Developed by Toshiba Corp. (Toshiba) the new photo-IC sensor incorporates a photodiode, a current amplifier and a luminous-efficiency correction (LEC) function in a single chip that is ideal for use in flat panel displays and various home appliances, and is also suitable for use in cell phones, notebook PCs, PDAs, camcorders, digital cameras, and other equipment requiring luminosity adjustment. The sensor can be used to turn a keypad or LCD backlight on or off, or adjust the brightness according to the ambient light condition. The TPS859 provides ultra-high sensitivity with light current (IL) of 230microA(1) compared with 40microA(1) in t

Marshall Electronics Introduces New 140mm Video Camera Lens For Hazardous Viewing in Near Ambient Light

(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 22, 2008 ) El Segundo, CA - The Optical Systems Division of Marshall Electronics announced today the release and availability of the new V-140-1.0 Ultra-Low Light Lens. The lens is ideal for environmental or hazardous monitoring applications requiring extremely low-light imaging. The lens opens up new ways to allow monitoring of critical areas that may be in difficult or impossible to permit in-person close-up viewing. The lens includes a long focal length (140mm) with an F1.0 aperture and produces excellent image quality when used with a 0.01 to 0.003 lux CS-mount camera. This lens/camera combination provides performance approaching military amplified light scope devices, but at a fraction of the cost. A horizontal shot size of approximately 45 feet will be clearly observed when viewing an object at 1,000 ft, using a

Death Note DVD 5

L and the police have kept Light and Misa in confinement for fifty days, but Kira has not stopped killing, and they have not confessed. They pass a test devised by L that requires Light's father to put his own life on the line and are released. Even so, L does not trust them and places them under twenty-four hour surveillance. Light, he keeps handcuffed to him at all times. Though they have lost the support of law enforcement, the investigative team led by L is soon able to link Kira to the Yotsuba Group. Matsuda, driven by a bout of foolish initiative, sneaks into Yotsuba's Headquarters and discovers a secret cabal of businessmen who appear to be controlling the Kira murders. Light then gets in contact with one of their number in order to convince him to turn Kira in.

Peacock feathers and butterfly wings inspire bio-templated nanotechnology materials

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Photonic crystals – also known as photonic band gap material – are similar to semiconductors, only that the electrons are replaced by photons (i.e. light). By creating periodic structures out of materials with contrast in their dielectric constants, it becomes possible to guide the flow of light through the photonic crystals in a way similar to how electrons are directed through doped regions of semiconductors. The photonic band gap (that forbids propagation of a certain frequency range of light) gives rise to distinct optical phenomena and enables one to control light with amazing facility and produce effects that are impossible with conventional optics.

Cracker company unveils cheesy sculpture in time for Fourth of July

A sculpture of the signing of the Declaration of Independencemadefromaone-tonneblock of cheddar cheese glistened on the sidewalk of Times Square in New York yesterday as an artist's tribute to the Fourth of July. "It's very patriotic, using the signing of the Declaration of Independence, bringing Americans together for the Fourth," said Troy Landwehr, who carved the sculpture, pictured, for cracker company Cheez-It to celebrate U. S. Independence Day. He worked for a week in a 4C cooler carving the block of Wisconsin cheddar. "The cheddar has been pasteurized and will not melt," the artist said. "What I spray on it is cooking oil and that stops it from drying out and cracking. That's why it looks sweaty. It actually preserves the cheese."

TORONTO—A garage may not seem like a good place for a $15,000 bronze sculpture, but that's where Misha Frid's The Centaur was found two days ago. Police recovered the Canadian artist's sculpture in one of several Toronto garages rented by alleged bicycle thief Igor Kenk, reports the Toronto Star.

Costa Commissions Sculpture for Luminosa

Costa commissioned a monumental bronze sculpture by world-renowned artist Fernando Botero for its newest ship, the Costa Luminosa. The bronze sculpture is currently taking shape at the Mariani foundry in Pietrasanta, Italy, where Botero creates his works using the traditional technique of lost wax casting. Once completed, the work of art will be installed in the atrium of the Costa Luminosa in May 2009, when the ship comes into service. "Reclining Woman 2004" depicts a voluminous female figure staring into space, daydreaming in a reclining position with a subtle and ironic expression and with her legs in a position of movement.

Shine A Light DVD & Blu-Ray Disc

I truly enjoyed seeing Shine a Light as I feel that it displays the Rolling Stones as the real deal. This is a band that has endured for years, and they are still relevant and they can still put on a riveting live performance. Coupled with the fact that the presentation on this DVD is nearly perfect, Shine a Light is an amazing time capsule of one of the most important rock and roll bands ever. They may be old, but the Rolling Stones are definitely still able to play....
