Scientists Make Vampire Bats Glow to Simulate Vaccine Spread ANN ARBOR, Mich., Nov. 26, 2019 — University of Michigan scientists and their colleagues used glowing fluorescent gel to test the potential effectiveness of vaccines to control rabies and other diseases in wild bats. The study, originally published in the journal Nature Ecology...
Ghost Imaging Captures Clear Reconstructions of Moving Objects CHANGSHA, China, Nov. 18, 2019 — Researchers at the National University of Defense Technology (NUDT) have used ghost imaging to capture an image of a moving object. The new method, which creates clear reconstructions by combining information found in the blurry images of a moving...
Inexpensive, Portable System Expands OCT's Reach DURHAM, N.C., Nov. 15, 2019 — Researchers from Duke University have developed a way to use optical coherence tomography (OCT) in hard-to-reach areas of the body such as joints. The method may allow the technique to see use in further surgical and medical applications. The...
Researchers Better Understand How Light Affects Circadian Rhythms in Insects IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 14, 2019 — University of California, Irvine (UCI) researchers have explored how UV, blue, and red light affect the central brain neurons that allow circadian clock timing to be reset. The researchers found that blue and UV light create a sustained light...
Biosensor Uses Raman Scattering to Help Ensure Safety of Stem Cell Therapies NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J., Nov. 12, 2019 — A research team at Rutgers University has developed a biosensor technology that could benefit applications for the treatment of neurological disorders through stem cell therapy. The hybrid biosensing platform consists of an array of ultrathin...
