New pictures added to the galleries
I've added the link to the
picture galleries form the Doctoral School 2006 and 2007 in Couvin. Also I've put some Fascination of Light pictures. Hope you like them!
Flexible full-color OLED display by Sony
Sony has unveiled what it is calling the world’s first flexible, full-color organic electroluminescent display (OLED) built on organic thin-film transistor (TFT) technology. OLEDs typically use a glass substrate, but Sony researchers developed new technology for forming organic TFT on a plastic substrate, enabling them to create a thin, lightweight and flexible full-color display. The 2.5-inch prototype display supports 16.8 million colors at a 120 x 160 pixel resolution (80 ppi, .318-mm pixel pitch), is 0.3 mm thick and weighs 1.5 grams without the driver. Sony plans to release a new line of miniature TVs this year and is bolstering efforts to develop next-generation flat-panel OLEDs.

Core dump (II)
Well, again one month later, here they go some more links I´ve been keeping in my del.icio.us temporal folder to blog about them:

The Inner Workings of CD/DVD DrivesThis page takes apart a CD / DVD drive to show the clever micro-optical-mechanical system that reads information by automatically focusing and tracking a semiconductor laser along tracks of data.
The Wolfram demonstration projectA website dedicated to compile all kinds of mathematical demonstrations, including physics and specially optics. Mathematica users can download the code, otherwise you can see a limited flash animation.
Atmospheric opticsLight playing on water drops, dust or ice crystals in the atmosphere produces a host of visual spectacles - rainbows, halos, glories, coronas and many more. Here you will find a nice collection of photo galleries with all kinds of atmospheric optical effects.
Masters of improvisationThis month's issue of Symmetry, a magazine jointly published by SLAC and Fermilab, is featuring an article that points out the sometimes extemporaneous and unconventional solutions physicists have come up with in (and out of) the laboratory.
