Search ArticlesFrom Optical to Electron Beam: Comparing Inspection Modalities for Advanced Nodes
Reviewed by Susha Cheriyedath, M.Sc. Semiconductor manufacturing at nanoscale technology nodes requires precise defect inspection to ensure optimal yield and device reliability. Conventional optical inspection faces challenges in detecting smaller and more complex defects. Electron beam (e-beam) inspection has emerged as a high-resolution alternative, allowing superior defect sensitivity at the nanoscale.
New Laser Technology Could Help Stop Deadly Fake Alcohol
A laser-based technology being developed at Adelaide University could soon help authorities detect deadly counterfeit alcohol, expose wine fraud and even identify dangerous chemicals inside sealed bottles – all without opening them. Dr. Ralf Mouthaan.
Astronauts Manufacture Ultra-Smooth Optical Lenses Aboard the ISS
Reviewed by Sarah Kelly *Important notice: This news reports on an unedited version of an accepted paper and is awaiting final editing. Therefore, the paper should not be regarded as conclusive or treated as established information. Optical lenses have been manufactured aboard the International Space Station (ISS) using a novel fluidic shaping technique. Researchers achieved ultra-smooth surfaces and scalable liquid-lens fabrication under microgravity conditions.
X-Ray Scattering Reveals Ultrafast Electron-Pair Redistribution in a Molecule
Reviewed by Sarah Kelly The first real-space observation of an ultrafast change in electron-pair density inside an isolated molecule during a quantum process was recently presented in Nature Physics. Using non-resonant hard X-ray scattering, researchers measured changes in the radial distribution of electron pairs after the molecule absorbed a high-energy photon. These changes were recorded within approximately 15 femtoseconds before the molecule fragmented.
Polaritons Explained: When Photons Borrow Mass
Reviewed by Susha Cheriyedath, M.Sc. Polaritons form when light and matter fuse so tightly that a photon starts to behave as if it has mass. This fusion transforms a massless particle into a hybrid object that carries momentum, interacts with other particles, and moves through materials at reduced speeds.

XRD and FT-IR Reveal Chemical Clues in Historic Transparent Paper
Reviewed by Sarah Kelly *Important notice: This news reports on an unedited version of an accepted paper and is awaiting final editing. Therefore, the paper should not be regarded as conclusive or treated as established information. In an attempt to better understand manufacturing processes and inform conservation practices, a new method has been developed to investigate the chemical composition and crystallinity of historic transparent papers.
Open Mouse Brain Dataset Advances AI-Based Neuron Reconstruction
Reviewed by Sarah Kelly *Important notice: This news reports on an unedited version of the paper which has been accepted and is awaiting final editing. Therefore, the study should not be regarded as conclusive or treated as established information. Accurately reconstructing the complex wiring of the mammalian brain remains one of the biggest challenges in neuroscience.
NKT Photonics Becomes Hamamatsu Photonics A/S
We are pleased to announce that, as of June 25, 2026, NKT Photonics has become the Lasers & Fibers Business Unit within the Hamamatsu Photonics Group and has been renamed Hamamatsu Photonics A/S. The change marks the next chapter in our evolution, following the acquisition by Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. in 2024. The new name makes it clearer that we are part of the Hamamatsu Photonics Group and gives us a more unified identity.
