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 ...

Quality is king when it comes to the output material recovery facilities (MRFs) are being called on to generate these days. Faced with shrinking global end markets, MRF operators are using advanced ...

In a recent review article published in the journal Light: Science & Applications, researchers have emphasized the pivotal role of optical methods in manipulating and sorting microscopic and ...

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 ...

The technique may have the ability to sort matter from the scale of macromolecules all the way up to large cells. In addition to the technical advantages of optical sorting and fractionation, the ...
