Researchers from Tsinghua University in Beijing, China, recently published their findings on using the Monte Carlo method during the design of skin-like optical devices. The Monte Carlo method allows for ...

A research team at Keio University in Japan devised a novel handheld viscosity sensor capable of quick, non-contact in situ measurements. Viscosity is a fundamental property for liquid analysis in a wide ...

Visual SLAM is now a trending approach in autonomous mobile robot development. Mobile robot is the one capable of transporting itself from place to place. For example, the first mobile robot emerged as a ...

For women across all socioeconomic groups, breast cancer poses a large threat. Approximately 1 in every 8 women will be diagnosed with the cancer during her lifetime. Additionally, it is one of the leading ...

Since the invention of the first operating laser in 1960, lasers have been designed in various regions of the electromagnetic spectrum and output powers. Soon after the advent of semiconductor fabrication ...

An object that has a temperature greater than absolute zero emits some type of radiation. More often than not, objects surrounding us emit radiation in the form of heat that is not visible to the naked ...

When we think about the type of matter that makes up the majority of our universe, we tend to say it is baryonic (stars, gases, galaxies, planets, and dust). While it is true that baryonic matter makes up ...

On September 14, 2016, one of the greatest discoveries in Physics took place: Detection of Gravitational waves. Gravitational waves were theorized on the basis of General Relativity (GR) – a theory ...

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 ...

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 ...
