Tag: imagingTracking and understanding the complex connections within the brain may finally reveal the neural secret of cognitive ability. Nobel for Revolutionary Optical Technologies The Nobel Prize in physics was awarded to a fiber-optics pioneer and the inventors of digital-imaging chips. Radiation Therapy for Moving Targets Researchers have combined two devices for real-time tumor tracking and treatment. A Superlens That Assembles Itself Easily made nanolenses can perform superhigh-resolution lithography and imaging. Micro-Projectors Set to Be Big These pocket-sized projectors get a big picture out of a small device--and future technology will shrink them further. An ultrasound lens could be used for high-resolution clinical imaging. Brain Images Reveal the Secret to Higher IQ The integrity of neural wiring is a big factor in determining intelligence. It's also inheritable. A new technique pushes the boundaries of super-resolution light microscopy. Invisibility-Cloak Breakthrough New software has enabled metamaterials to work with a broad band of frequencies. An MRI imager that is 100 million times more powerful could create 3-D images of viruses. Stretchable electronics and the strongest material ever were just two achievements of 2008. Nanotubes Track Cellular Toxins Tiny sensors can monitor cancer-causing agents and chemotherapy drugs in cells. A new imaging probe brings live cancer cells into sharp relief. A new, high-resolution imaging system captures "early" photons. The camera will offer sharper, broader views of the sky. |
