Science Speeds Up, Nature Stays Slow
To say we live in a fast-paced world no longer does the reality justice. Supercomputers can calculate hundreds of terabytes of data in a billionth of a second. Fortunes are made and lost with the click of a button. Yet, in many instances, nature has not received — or has disregarded — the memo to hurry up. Grass still grows slowly, and the life sciences have often struggled to detect...

Light Reflectance Spectroscopy Aids Prostate Cancer Surgery
Light-reflectance spectroscopy has been using during prostate cancer surgery to differentiate between malignant and benign tissue with 85 percent accuracy. The finding could enable real-time tissue analysis during the surgery. According to the National Cancer Institute, prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, second only to skin cancer. After lung cancer, prostate cancer is the second...
Hybrid Imaging Technique Elucidates Coronary Plaques
Combing optical coherence tomography (OCT) with near-infrared autofluorescence (NIRAF) could enable more accurate identification of coronary artery plaques that are most likely to rupture and cause a...
