  • Vesicle Tracking and Transport

    Research in the Pucadyil lab at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research is focused on understanding how proteins involved in vesicular transport manage to sort membrane proteins and bud out vesicles from cell membranes. The team approaches this area of research by reconstituting partial reactions that contribute tobudding and scission of transport vesicles from model membranes that mimic native cell membranes.

  • The Development of Carbon Nanotube Optical Sensors for Early Disease Detection

    One of the main areas of research at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City is the development of nanoscale sensors to detect cancer at its earliest stages.

  • Dynamic Neutron Radiography - Novel (3D) Neutron Imaging Technique

    Every engineer and scientist dreams of being able to investigate objects from within, without destroying them, in order to study cracks, hidden flaws, or structural material changes. Over the years, a variety of technologies have been utilized to help make this dream a reality via the ongoing development of new techniques that leverage the unique characteristics of different radiation modalities.

  • Advanced CMOS Detectors: Enabling the Future of Astronomical Observation

    Ground based astronomy provides an accessible way to image objects in space. As most of the objects in space can be observed within the visible wavelength range (380-700 nm), optical astronomy has been at the forefront of astronomical observation. Many objects in space are very faint, requiring a camera with high sensitivity and minimal noise to detect their weak signal.

  • New Era in Dynamic Range and Linearity for Scientific CMOS Cameras

    Scientific CMOS technology offers improvements over previous sensor technologies such as CCD and EMCCD in key performance areas such as speed, noise performance, energy use and sensor size.

  • Why Must I Have an emICCD?

    Intensified cameras are specialized devices that optically connect an image intensifier to a CCD sensor. One finds a wide variety of CCD sensor architectures making this camera type adaptable to many imaging and spectroscopy experimental needs.

  • COSMOS for the Detection and Characterization of Exoplanets

    Exoplanets are planets that orbit a star other than the Sun, and their detection and characterization has been at the forefront within astronomy for multiple years. To date there has been greater than 4000 exoplanets confirmed across a range of different methods, with more than 5000 additional exoplanet candidates.

  • Flexible Electronic Architecture Extends Utility of Scientific Cameras

    Ultimately, the true worth of a scientific camera is determined by its ability to flexibly meet the performance requirements deemed most useful by a given researcher. As many disciplines have continued to evolve over recent years to encompass more varied investigatory techniques, sets of critical requirements have also expanded.
