Optical sorting combines optical tweezers with diverse techniques, including optical spectrum, artificial intelligence (AI) and immunoassay, to endow unprecedented capabilities in particle sorting. In ...

Light can be sculpted into countless shapes. Yet building optical devices that can simultaneously manipulate many different optical patterns at once is extremely complicated, and remains a major ...

Nashville, Tennessee-based National Recovery Technologies (NRT) has announced a next-generation platform for the company’s SpydIR® and ColorPlus™ optical sorters, which will debut during the IFAT 2016 ...

In microfluidics, flow is predominantly laminar, creating challenges in the design of actuators such as mixers and sorters. The extremely low Reynolds numbers associated with microfluidic flows (for ...

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 ...
