When someone has multiple sclerosis, it's expensive to detect the changes caused by this disease. Researchers at John Hopkins have recently announced that they have found that a five-minute eye exam could be used to help detect changes in the brain caused by multiple sclerosis. Over 400,000 Americans are affected by multiple sclerosis.
At the Institut Curie, Simon Scheuring, beneficiary of the Inserm Avenir program and coordinator of the CNRS/Inserm "Atomic force microscopy (AFM) of proteins in native membranes" team, has for the first time observed a diseased tissue at very high resolution using atomic force microscopy (AFM).
A Princeton-led research team has created an easy-to-produce material from the stuff of computer chips that has the rare ability to bend light in the opposite direction from all naturally occurring materials. This startling property may contribute to significant advances in many areas, including high-speed communications, medical diagnostics and detection of terrorist threats.
Curtiss-Wright Corporation announced today that Siemens Power Generation has begun utilizing its laser peening technology to improve the fatigue strength of titanium last row blades on certain of their advanced steam turbines. The last row blades extract energy from the steam to drive electrical generators. Although laser peening technology has been utilized for several years to strengthen critical titanium components in commercial and military turbine engines, this application represents its first production use in power generation steam turbines.
Lasers have been used in medicine for many years, mostly as minimally invasive surgical cutting tools. However, in recent years there have been many advances in the market, and the range of applications for lasers and light-based systems continues to expand across several specialities, especially in ophthalmology and cosmetic treatments. This has created a demand for increased efficiency of lasers and high intensity pulsed lamps, while creating new systems that are more compact, gentler, quicker and more cost-effective.
A new agreement between the University of Kansas and Kansas State University provides researchers, students and faculty access to an unused fiber optic cable that runs alongside Interstate 70 in northeast Kansas.
One difficulty in detecting potentially dangerous materials like liquid explosives, as reported by Science & Technology Facilities Council's Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, is the wide variety of packaging in which air travelers can readily concealed these substances.
A laser that can detect counterfeit drugs through packaging has been developed by British scientists, allowing investigators to check on their authenticity without opening sealed bottles or packs.
QPC,” a world leader in the development and commercialization of high brightness, high power semiconductor lasers for the industrial, defense, and medical markets, today announced that it has demonstrated a green laser based on QPC’s proprietary BrightLase® semiconductor laser technology.
A Maine telecommunications company is about to grant Bangor and Brewer one of their biggest economic development wishes ¡X access to the fastest, most up-to-date broadband Internet service.
