Credit: Photo: Neptun Lab/University of Freiburg Glass is ubiquitous, from high-tech products in the fields of optics, telecommunications, chemistry and medicine to everyday objects such as bottles and windows. However, shaping glass is mainly based on processes such as melting, grinding or etching. These processes are decades old, technologically demanding, energy-intensive and severely limited in terms of the shapes that can be realized. For the first time, a team led by Prof. Dr. Bastian E. Rapp from the Laboratory of Process Technology at the Department of Microsystems Engineering at the University of Freiburg, in collaboration with the Freiburg-based start-up Glassomer, has developed a process that makes it possible to form glass easily, quickly and in almost any shape using injection molding. The researchers presented their results in the journal ....
Charles and Nora L. Wiley Award for Meritorious Research and Creativity Charles and Nora L. Wiley Award for Meritorious Research and Creativity David Dickensheets David Dickensheets, professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in MSU s Norm Asbjornson College of Engineering, has won the Charles and Nora L. Wiley Award for Meritorious Research and Creativity. He will receive a $2,000 honorarium. Dickensheets is widely known for pioneering optical technology that can be used to scan human tissue for diagnosing cancer, among other applications. His research has focused on developing tiny mirrors and other optical components that can be manipulated electronically in order to generate high resolution images. The devices can be used ....
Feature open Meredith Smith, Kari Apter and Samantha Hornback Congratulations to the 118 members of the 2021 class of OSA Fellow Members, who will be recognized at OSA conferences throughout the year for scientific, engineering and technological contributions, as well as industry leadership and service to OSA and the global optics community. The 2021 class of Fellows reflects the diverse and inclusive community that OSA serves. A record 261 nominations were received, making this program very competitive as no more than 10% of OSA’s total membership may be elected as Fellows.
