Radiation Therapy for Moving Targets Researchers have combined two devices for real-time tumor tracking and treatment. Detecting Dirty Bombs from a Safe Distance A modified NASA telescope could detect dangerous radioactive materials. New technologies on NASA's next lunar spacecraft will collect information to make human exploration safer. More-Accurate Radiation Therapy Small, implantable devices could measure radiation from within tumors themselves. Silicon gratings heighten contrast. Proton-beam cancer therapy could become more available, thanks to a new device. Computing with Light and Magnets A new way of controlling light could open the door to novel optical devices. A platelet-rich gel derived from one's own blood could speed up the healing of wounds and cuts. Filters will bring out faint infrared radiation from the early universe. The Ultrafast Future of Wireless A new metal film could help control terahertz radiation and lead to wireless devices that are thousands of times faster than today's Wi-Fi. New physics theory could cut the cord on power chargers for gadgets. Portable, Palm-Size Radiation Detectors A new device, with sensors the size of human cells, can measure, record, and assess the risk of radiation emissions in real time. Better Screening for Breast Cancer Tests show that measuring electrical resistance could lead to a cheap and easy way to detect the disease early. [1]
