Microscopy on the Smartphone: Bright-field and Fluorescence
In healthcare terminology, diagnostics refers to classifying an illness or condition based on studying the symptoms. The process of diagnostics has been forever changed with technology. Quality medical ...
Estimating Cosmological Parameters From Supernovae
In order to understand the contribution of matter, radiation, and dark energy in the universe, cosmologists have developed a set of cosmological parameters: matter (Ωm), radiation (ΩR), dark energy (ΩΛ). ...
Dimensional Metrology and the Smart Factory
The manufacturing industry has come a long way from Ford’s car plants that spurred innovation in the U.S. The assembly line was a revolutionary tactic for efficiency, but modern manufacturing is much more ...
Neural Imaging with Visible Light: Advanced Implantable Sensor
Previously, we discussed a technique for producing high resolution maps of neural activity in the brain called Optical Recording of Intrinsic Signal, or ORIS. Conventional methods for performing ORIS ...
Neural Imaging with Visible Light: Implantable Optical Sensors
Previously, we discussed how visible light in combination with implantable optical sensors was used to map epileptic neural activity and localize focal seizures on the surface of the brain. Scientists at ...
Deformable Mirror Fights Thermal Distortion in Q-Switched Lasers
Researchers at Tsinghua University look to optimize the performance of passively Q-switched lasers by confronting effects of thermal distortion. Their solution, a customized deformable mirror, proves to be ...
Laser Speckle Strain Imaging: A New Method to Study Delayed Fractures
A team of researchers from the Wageningen University in the Netherlands has devised a new method of imaging solids as stress is applied to them. This method, called laser speckle strain imaging, reveals ...
Using Light Polarization to Explore Earth’s Final Frontier
Researchers from the University of Illinois recently developed a new method of navigating while underwater by taking advantage of light polarization. This underwater GPS has the ability to accurately ...
Dynamic Laparoscopic Graspers For Minimally Invasive Surgery
Developers at Briteseed, a biotechnology company in Illinois, devised a handheld prototype that they say will make it significantly easier for surgeons to locate blood vessels during minimally invasive ...
Confocal Microscope on Smartphones: Skin Disease Diagnosis
Researchers from around the world came together to develop a low-cost smartphone confocal microscope for imaging human skin in vivo. The team’s main concern: disease diagnosis in low- and middle-income ...
