Probing Critical Functions
Photonic devices are impacting medical care and research along two fundamental tracks. One provides clinicians with tools to improve outcomes. The other gives researchers the means to probe more deeply into critical life functions. Optogenetics is a case in point. It has transformed brain research by rendering individual neurons sensitive to light. Now a number of scientists are applying this...

AI-Powered Image Analysis Could Transform Dairy Farming
A technique for monitoring the health of dairy cattle with a high degree of accuracy uses a camera and artificial intelligence (AI) to achieve a “smart” cowhouse. Detailed observation by AI-powered image analysis could enable early detection of injuries and illnesses that could impact the quantity and quality of milk production. Researchers at Osaka University established a method for...

Photonics Can Change Critical Care Neurology
The brain, which identifies who we are as individuals, remains our most delicate organ. With the average human lifespan progressively increasing, it is very likely that brain health will become the rate-limiting step for determining longevity and quality of life for the elderly. One major way that the health of our brains can be affected is by any type of unexpected acute brain injury: traumatic...

Hatchetfish Manipulate Light for Survival
The midwater region of the ocean houses the largest ecosystem on Earth. This region, which forms the link between the ocean surface and the bottom, is enormous — with depths ranging from 200 to 11,000 meters. Many of the inhabitants of this vast area have evolved peculiar abilities and features that allow them to survive. This includes camouflaging their bodies in darkness and in light....
