The European Commission has opened two more calls for photonics components and systems R&D projects under the 7th research framework programme (FP7), for work to be undertaken between 2009 and 2010.
Researchers have shed light on a basic process that could improve future solar cells. They have now directly measured the rate of hole transfer between identical porphyrin compounds in their ground states. These results are key to understanding the fundamental processes underlying charge separation and have applications for improving the efficiency of solar cells.
Skin Deep Laser Medspa voted Best Medspa for the fifth consecutive year by readers of The Pasadena Weekly. Medical Director Dr. John Gross also won in the Best Cosmetic Surgery category.
Dear Dr. Gott: I recently had an endoscopy and was diagnosed with Barrett's esophagus. What is the best treatment? Is surgery an option? I read your articles every day and save many of them. Keep up the good work.
( Washington University in St. Louis ) Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have shed light on a basic process that could improve future solar cells. Dewey Holten, Ph.D., professor of chemistry in Arts & Sciences and graduate student Hee-eun Song have directly measured the rate of hole transfer between identical porphyrin compounds in their ground states. These results are key to ...
(PhysOrg.com) -- "One type of solar cell design starts with a chain of chromophores strung between two electrodes," explained Dewey Holten, Ph.D., professor of chemistry in Arts & Sciences. "This chain absorbs the light energy and directs that energy towards one electrode, where it is deposited as an electron. The molecule which lost the electron now has a positive charge left behind called a ...

The modern world is the result of innovations developed under a model that no longer works, and companies that want to progress need to employ a new paradigm of open collaboration, reiterated speakers at the well-received SPIE Photonics Innovation Summit on 6 November in the San Francisco-Silicon Valley area.
As a brigade of 70 professional sommeliers carefully uncork prized champagne for a select group of wine lovers today, it's unlikely anyone wrapping their fingers around the long-stemmed glassware will be thinking about stem cells - the reason behind the event.
The topic of the benefits of sunlight versus its detrimental effects - such as ageing and skin cancer - is a war waging and a mess of contradictions at the moment. You will probably have read headlines like “sunscreen creams don’t work” and “skin cancer on the increase”.
Ondine Biopharma Corporation a medical technology company developing photodisinfection based products, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2008.
