Photo Stencil Adds Laser Direct Imaging Capabilities to Stencil Manufacturing Process

Photo Stencil, LLC, a leading full-service provider of high-performance stencils and tooling, has just added laser direct imaging (LDI) capabilities to its stencil manufacturing process. Their new LDI equipment enables Photo Stencil to transfer intricate patterns, fine lines, and small dots that are necessary for high density interconnects, BGAs, CSPs, and flex circuits, onto a substrate to create an extremely accurate stencil that can be used for solder paste printing of PCBs.

Raman Spectroscopy Can Successfully Detect Cancerous Tissue Following Laser Ablation

Surgeons rely on 200-year-old techniques based on sight and touch when removing cancer, to determine how much to remove and what to leave alone. Laser technology pioneered at Florida Atlantic University has the promise to help a surgeon better determine if an area is cancer or healthy tissue. Moreover, when combined with laser treatment for cancer, this work lays the groundwork for laser robotic treatment of cancer.

New MRI Technique to Better Detect, Evaluate NAFLD in Children

Between 5 and 8 million children in the United States have nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), yet most cases go undiagnosed. To help address this issue, researchers at UC San Diego School of Medicine have developed a new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based technique to help clinicians and researchers better detect and evaluate NAFLD in children. The study is published Feb. 5 in Hepatology.

VISTA Telescope Maps Central Regions of Milky Way in Infrared Light

As one of its major surveys of the southern sky, the VISTA telescope at ESO's Paranal Observatory in Chile is mapping the central regions of the Milky Way in infrared light to search for new and hidden objects. This VVV survey (standing for VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea) is also returning to the same parts of the sky again and again to spot objects that vary in brightness as time passes.
