Tag: imagingNobel 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. Invisibility-Cloak Breakthrough New software has enabled metamaterials to work with a broad band of frequencies. Stretchable electronics and the strongest material ever were just two achievements of 2008. A new, high-resolution imaging system captures "early" photons. The camera will offer sharper, broader views of the sky. A new satellite could produce color images of objects half the size of those visible to its predecessors. A new device gives researchers unprecedented control over an unwieldy part of the spectrum. Large-Scale Rewritable Holograms A new material allows researchers to write and erase 3-D images for displays. Tiny antennae focus infrared laser light down to 100 nanometers, providing a way for scientists to see cells at work. A new spectrometer lets scientists learn more about the planet's chemistry. NASA's thermal-imaging sensor helps fight the flames. |
