A real-time adaptive optics system was developed, characterised and applied to measure the 3D flow field through an oscillating surface of a water drop on an opaque Gas Diffusion Layer. A case study shows that the system corrects successfully measurement errors of the flow field that are caused by the refraction of light at the time-varying water-air interface.
Violent blows or jolts to the head can cause traumatic brain injury (TBI), and there are currently about five million people in the U.S. living with chronic neurodegeneration and related impairments due to TBI.
The Korea Institute of Fusion Energy (KFE) announced that they have experimentally verified that KSTAR's superconducting magnets maintain maximum performance even after 16 years of continuous operation.
Girls exposed to certain endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) may be more likely to start puberty early, according to new research published in Endocrinology, the flagship basic science journal of the Endocrine Society. EDCs mimic, block or interfere with hormones in the body's endocrine system.
Historically, Lake Okeechobee was thought to be impaired only by phosphorus, focusing efforts on reducing agricultural runoff. However, new comprehensive sampling across the Lake Okeechobee Waterway and its connected estuaries shows that toxic algal blooms also are driven by rising nitrogen levels from human waste and urban runoff. Increased nitrogen, worsened by extreme rainfall, significantly fuels bloom severity. Findings underscore the need for integrated nutrient management and improved wastewater treatment to protect the lake and its estuaries.
A new facet engineering approach achieves controlled nanowire dimensions with high crystalline quality, enabling on-substrate vertical emitting lasing from ordered InGaAs/InP multi-quantum well nanowire arrays grown on InP substrates.
Non-invasive estimation of particle size distribution has been a long-term desire in pharmaceutical drying process, a critical step in the production of medication and chemical compounds. To address this challenge, MIT scientists invented a method to accelerate a current particle size probe by 60 times, achieving the fastest non-invasive size monitoring.
An international team led by Professor Gong Xiao from the National University of Singapore has developed a groundbreaking non-volatile photonic-electronic memory chip, published in Light: Science & Applications.
In recent years, the convergence of deep learning and biophotonics has ushered in a new era of bioimaging. This article reviews emerging approaches where certain measurement metrics are intentionally compromised to develop cost-effective, high-speed or more compact bioimaging tools.
