Improving Defense, With Precision
JUSTINE MURPHY, SENIOR EDITOR
The 21st century battlefield is marked by distance and precision. Remote weapons systems, precision-guided munitions and weaponized vehicles that can be operated remotely are mainstays of the modern battle theater. This fundamental shift in the nature of warfare is due to seismic technological advances — many of them photonic.

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has issued a letter of support on the use of neuroimaging biomarker dopamine transporter imaging as an exploratory biomarker for early Parkinson’s disease (PD). The biomarker will help researchers select people in the earliest stages of the disease for participation in clinical trials of new treatments for PD.
