NIST researchers in Boulder have unveiled the “agricomb” to measure, ahem, cow burps. Described in the journal Science Advances March 2021 issue, the NIST apparatus — a two-comb system — identifies trace gases based on the exact shades and amounts of infrared light...
Zayo co-founder, Dan Caruso, becomes board chairman, interim CEO of ColdQuanta. Rushton McGarr, was most recently the interim CFO of natural-foods holding company 1908 Brands, was hired to be CFO. This is part of ColdQuanta’s broader effort to commercialize its...
At the 2021 Electronic Imaging Conference, Norman Koren presented a paper that introduced the concept of the noise image, based on the understanding that since noise varies over the image surface, noise itself forms an image, and hence can be measured anywhere, no...
Ball Aerospace shipped NASA’s Tropospheric Emission: Monitoring of Pollution (TEMPO) spectrometer, an air quality monitoring instrument, to the spacecraft manufacturer for integration. The imaging spectrometer, which senses ultraviolet and visible light, will make...
Epilog Laser, the leading producer of CO2 and fiber laser engraving, cutting, and marking systems, is excited open a new distribution facility near its three existing buildings in Golden. The additional facility is the latest of several exciting developments at Epilog...
The OSA Foundation and Coherent, Inc., are pleased to announce Bowen Li, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Colorado, Boulder, USA, as the 2021 Bernard J. Couillaud Prize winner. Li’s winning proposal focuses on the first counter-propagating all-normal...
Raytheon Intelligence & Space announced the creation of the Raytheon Technologies Endowed Graduate Fellowship Fund. The $250,000 endowment will support top graduate students at the university’s College of Engineering and Applied Science. RI&S’ Space & C2 Systems...
These NIST instruments identify gas signatures by precisely measuring the amounts of light absorbed at each color in the broad laser spectrum as specially prepared beams trace a path through the air. Current applications include detecting leaks from oil and gas...
Momentum Optics selected by Luminate, the world’s top accelerator for optics, photonics, and imaging startups, for their fourth Cohort. CPIA member DoubleHelix was in an earlier Luminate Cohort. Also news for Momentum Optics, they’ve been awarded a NASA SBIR Phase I...
After successfully trapping and addressing 100 qubits in a large, dense 2D cold atom array, ColdQuanta’s digital gate-based quantum computer is on track to massively scale qubit count beyond what is possible with other approaches. On track to be available later this...
