Tiny bubbles pack a punch, enough to potentially knock out cancer. They also could be used for cancer diagnostics, offering a tool to both detect and treat the disease. Those are some of the research findings of a group from Rice University and the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Center, both in Houston, and the A.V. Lykov Heat and Mass Transfer Institute in Minsk, Belarus. Research leader Dmitri O. Lapotko noted that the researchers demonstrated what they call theranostics, a novel approach that combines diagnosis, therapy and guidance of that therapy to specific cells or tissues. The...Read full article

    photodetector
    A photodetector, also known as a photosensor or photodiode, is a device that detects and converts light into an electrical signal. Photodetectors are widely used in various applications, ranging from simple light sensing to more complex tasks such as imaging and communication. Key features and principles of photodetectors include: Light sensing: The primary function of a photodetector is to sense or detect light. When photons (particles of light) strike the active area of the photodetector,...
