By teaching an AI to use optical tweezers, researchers from the University of Gothenburg and Chalmers University of ...

Cal-Waste added five optical sorters in its 2020 MRF upgrade: three optical sorters on its fiber line and two on its container line. For material recovery facility (MRF) operators, fiber tends to make ...

Optical sorting technology helps material recovery facilities (MRFs) reduce their reliance on manpower to sort various materials. They are masters at sorting efficiently and quickly. Yet, as do human ...

NIST scientists have devised and modeled a unique optical method of sorting microscopic and nanoscopic particles by size, with a resolution as fine as 1 nanometer (nm) for particles of similar ...

In the dynamic realm of optical physics, researchers are continually pushing the boundaries of how light can be manipulated and harnessed for practical applications. As reported in Advanced Photonics ...

Chirality is a fundamental geometric and physical property ubiquitous in nature, playing a critical role in food safety, pharmaceutical development ...

Sorting of the mesoscale particles on a periodic two-dimensional energy landscape is of great current interest, both theoretically and experimentally. Holographic optical tweezers (HOT) are the common ...

Blåtand has invested in optical sorting technology from Bühler as it gears up for growth and expansion into new markets. The company supplies frozen berries, jam and fruit preparations to caterers, ...

Lateral optical forces induced by linearly polarized laser beams have been predicted to deflect dipolar particles with opposite chiralities toward opposite transversal directions. These ...

The more biologists learn about disease complexity and the power of personalized treatments, the more important it becomes to develop noninvasive and unbiased methods of sorting, separating, and ...
