(Phys.org)—Over the past several years, major advances have been made at UCLA in the field of lens-less computational imaging technology, particularly in the design of lens-free holographic microscopes, which, because of their small size, power and flexibility, hold a number of advantages over conventional optical microscopes. In new research, UCLA's Aydogan Ozcan and his colleagues present emerging results for this high-resolution, wide-field on-chip microscopy and describe the challenges the technology faces going forward, shedding light on future directions and applications. http://phys.org/news266047513.html Physics Wed, 05 Sep 2012 07:06:02 EST news266047513 Doctors can now get a peek behind the eardrum to better diagnose and treat chronic ear infections, thanks to a new medical imaging device invented by University of Illinois researchers. The device could usher in a new suite of non-invasive, 3-D diagnostic imaging tools for primary-care physicians. http://phys.org/news257528690.html Technology Tue, 29 May 2012 16:46:18 EST news257528690 QUT's first foray into space is bound to be a giant step for mankind. Dr Martin Castillo from Queensland University of Technology's (QUT) Science and Engineering Faculty, and researcher for the university's micro-gravity tower facility, has partnered with the United States Air Force to fund world-first research into the development of ZBLAN glass. http://phys.org/news252319997.html Chemistry Fri, 30 Mar 2012 09:53:41 EST news252319997 (PhysOrg.com) -- So great is the wealth of data about the Sun now being sent back by space missions such as SOHO, STEREO and the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) that scientists back on Earth can struggle to keep pace. To combat this data overload, scientists from the Visual Computer Center at Bradford University are developing advanced imaging tools to help scientists visualise what's happening at the Sun, make sense of the data and predict the extreme solar activities that could affect our life here on Earth. Dr. Rami Qahwaji will present the tools at the RAS National Astronomy Meeting at Llandudno on Tuesday and Wednesday, 19th and 20th April. http://phys.org/news222426612.html Space & Earth Tue, 19 Apr 2011 10:10:25 EST news222426612 The diagnosis of hereditary diseases and the identification of genetic fingerprints hinge on high-sensitivity DNA imaging biotechnologies. These imaging tools detect specific genes in cells using fluorophores—fluorescent tags that can illuminate DNA structures—and quenchers that interact with these tags to prevent them from emitting light, effectively working as an ‘off switch’. http://phys.org/news211197058.html Chemistry Fri, 10 Dec 2010 09:51:55 EST news211197058 Scientists at the University of Oxford have developed a revolutionary way of capturing a high-resolution still image alongside very high-speed video - a new technology that is attractive for science, industry and consumer sectors alike. http://phys.org/news185373036.html Technology Sun, 14 Feb 2010 13:00:06 EST news185373036 Former colleagues of two American scientists who won the 2009 Nobel physics prize say the winners, Willard Boyle and George Smith, did not deserve the award, Canada's Globe and Mail reported Tuesday. http://phys.org/news180727463.html Other Sciences Tue, 22 Dec 2009 18:04:54 EST news180727463
