MUNICH, Oct. 13, 2023 — High-quality medical imaging from multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT) could be used to diagnose and evaluate a range of diseases, including breast cancer, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, IBD, and many more. However, the length of time...
Microscopy Method Detects Treatment-Resistant Cancer
BALTIMORE, Oct. 9, 2023 — Therapy-induced senescent (TIS) cells are cancer cells that become resistant to therapies and enter a dormant stage. These cells can emerge from dormancy and induce tumor resistance and relapse. To provide insight into how TIS cells evolve, it is...
Nobel Prize in Chemistry Recognizes Quantum Dot Pioneers
STOCKHOLM, Oct. 4, 2023 — Moungi Bawendi, Louis Brus, and Alexei Ekimov have been awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in chemistry for the discovery and development of quantum dots, which are nanoparticles small enough that their size determines their properties. These discoveries...
Wearable Sensor Could Detect Postpartum Blood Loss
WASHINGTON, D.C., Oct. 3, 2023 — Postpartum hemorrhage, the leading and most preventable cause of maternal mortality, can be hard to detect, because physiological compensation mechanisms can mask excessive bleeding. In the early stages of hemorrhage, the sympathetic nervous system...
Single-Cell Analysis Optofluidics Tool Delivers on Demand
QINGDAO, China, Sept. 20, 2023 — An on-demand optical system for exporting target droplets from a static droplet array (SDA) provides a simple way to export specific cells or analytes for analysis without compromising efficiency or accuracy. Researchers at the Qingdao Institute of...
Excelitas Technologies to Acquire Heraeus Noblelight
WALTHAM, Mass., Sept. 15, 2023 — Excelitas Technologies has signed a definitive agreement with Heraeus Group to acquire the Heraeus Noblelight business. Heraeus Noblelight specializes in the development and manufacture of specialty light sources and solutions used within analytical...
Photoacoustic Microscopy Method Delivers Higher Sensitivity
HONG KONG, Sept. 15, 2023 — A multispectral, super-low-dose photoacoustic microscopy (SLD-PAM) system developed by City University of Hong Kong (CUHK) achieves significantly higher sensitivity than traditional optical resolution photoacoustic imaging. By providing an...
£520 million to add three beamlines to U.K.’s National Synchrotron
OXFORDSHIRE, England, Sept. 12, 2023 — A nearly £520 million ($648.3 million) investment in the U.K.’s national synchrotron, Diamond Light Source, will lead to the implementation of three new flagship beamlines, as well as upgrades to existing beamlines. The U.K. Department...
