Wednesday, May 15, 2013 Dr. Bianca Jackson featured in BBC news and Science blog Bianca Jackson, a post doc in Prof Zhang’s group, has just been featured on NPR’s Science Friday blog as well as in a BBC News piece about her work using a terahertz scanner to reveal ancient art that is obscured by multiple layers of paint or other materials. |
Tuesday, April 23, 2013 Jannick Rolland's group obtains the first 3D, high-resolution pictures of a recently developed type of optical lenses Prof. Jannick Rolland and researchers in her group at the Institute of Optics have applied a sophisticated imaging technique to obtain the first 3D, high-resolution pictures of a recently developed type of optical lenses. They say that using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) during the manufacturing process allows them to significantly improve the quality of these new and promising lenses. |
