Pyroistech - Riding the light

Researchers from different Italian universities have demonstrated that the proliferation of neuroblastoma cells in a novel photoelectrolytic platform can be reduced by 50% by employing light pulses. Read more in: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

The #infrared (IR) spectral region is the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that covers from 700 nm to 1,000 µm. There are several types of infrared sources including halogen, LED, SLD, laser and globar sources, among others. Read more in: pyroistech.com/infrared-sourc…

Could #lasers substitute conventional lightning rods? A multidisciplinary team of scientists has demonstrated for the first time in the Swiss Alps that lightning can be guided with the help of lasers. Read more in this article from @TheIET: eandt.theiet.org/content/articl… #photonics

Did you know that Microsoft has acquired Lumenisity Limited, a company that produces hollow core fibers? In our latest post, we talk about mid-infrared fibers, focusing on two types: #fluoride fibers and #hollowcore fibers. Read more in: pyroistech.com/mid-infrared-f… #optics #photonics
