The system allows for up to three configurable

The system allows for up to three configurable, material specific growth modules, enabling high system utilization with multiple researchers simultaneously performing unattended growths and calibrations. This combined with Veeco’s world-class source technology are why the MBE community is choosing the GEN10 across a diverse set of compound semiconductor research applications.

Scientists from the University of Strathclyde in Scotland (United Kingdom) have begun to develop a new Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) technology that will use special micron-sized LED lights, such as those that could be used as part of home lighting or TV displays, to form part of a sophisticated wireless communications network (much like Wi-Fi is today).

The principle, which revolves around manipulating the on/off flicker of LED lights to produce a digital network (a bit like Morse Code from a torch), is not new but most of the other teams are focusing on larger Li-Fi LEDs of around 1mm square in size.However micron sized LEDs not only allow you to use more lights (each of which can act as a separate data channel) but they can also flicker on and off around 1,000 times quicker than the larger LEDs.

Our consumer lifestyle business was margin dilutive to the group, so it was time to decide to move away from consumer electronics," said CEO Frans van Houten during the company's earnings presentation.For the past two years, Van Houten has been focusing on streamlining Philip's operations to highlight profitable divisions such as LED lighting and control systems and hospital scanners.
