Herwig Kogelnik

Article Abstract:

Herwig Kogelnik is the 2001 IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) Medal of Honor recipient for research and leadership involving lasers and optoelectronics. Kogelnik, who spent four decades as an experimentalist, theorist, and administrator for Bell Labs, was born in Graz, Austria, in 1932. Because Bell Labs retires its executives at age 65, Kogelnik gave up his administrative duties in 1997. He now devotes himself to research and research strategy.

A weaker, cheaper MRI: magnetic fields that would barely budge a compass might find tumors faster

Article Abstract:

Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory were able to take images of a human brain using magnetic fields of only 46 microteslas compared to a conventional MRI machine that uses 1.5 teslas. The need for less costly magnets in the new machine's design could bring down the cost of the machine to just $100,000 versus the $1 million that typical machines costs.

A revolutionary chipmaking technique? A top maker of lithographic systems and its partner have a new concept for maskless lithography

Article Abstract:

A cooperative R&D effort by Micronic Laser Systems AB of Taby, Sweden, and ASML of Veldhoven, the Netherlands, aims to create an innovative chipmaking process. The new procedure replaces masks, also known as reticles, with arrays of computer-controlled microscopic mirrors which direct laser light onto wafers.
