With Virtual Reality, Life’s a Beach — Even at the Dentist
PLYMOUTH, England, July 13, 2017 — Virtual reality was used to transport patients from the dentist’s chair to a day at the beach at one dental practice in Devon, England — with a demonstrable improvement in the comfort level on the part of the patients. The dental practice participated in a study to determine whether virtual reality (VR) experiences like this could improve the patient’s experience during routine dental procedures, such as fillings and tooth extractions. Patients were randomly allocated
Handheld Optoacoustics Device Sees Under Skin

Hybrid Imaging Method Delivers Panoramic Scan of a Live Animal
DURHAM, N.C., June 12, 2017 — A hybrid imaging technique, dubbed Single-Impulse Panoramic Photoacoustic Computed Tomography (SIP-PACT), combines light and ultrasound to provide a full cross-sectional view of a small animal’s internal functions in real time, with enough...
Imaging Technique Could Improve Tumor Margin Assessment
LONDON, June 7, 2017 — Use of Cerenkov luminescence imaging (CLI) could provide a more accurate technique for assessing resection margins during breast-conserving surgery, a primary treatment for early-stage breast cancer. CLI combines optical and molecular imaging by...
Metalens for Immersion Microscope Overcomes Challenges of Hand-Polishing Techniques
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 2, 2017 — A flat lens for immersion microscopy has been developed. The lens, which can be designed for use with any form of liquid, could provide a cost-effective and easy-to-manufacture alternative to hand polishing lenses for immersion objectives. Because...
Jellyfish Proteins Used to Create Unconventional Laser
ST. ANDREWS, Scotland, May 31, 2017 — A polariton laser based on lab-grown, fluorescent jellyfish proteins could impact the fabrication of artificial optical devices, advance the field of optical computing — as it require less energy than conventional lasers — and aid in new...
Holographic Technique Traps Irregularly Shaped Microscopic Objects
DAEJEON, South Korea, May 26, 2017 — An optical manipulation technique that can securely control the position, orientation and shape of non-spherical microscopic samples, such as living cells, could have direct applications in biophotonics and soft matter physics. Although optical...
Nanofiber Device Detects Forces and Sound Waves from Live Cells
LA JOLLA, Calif., May 18, 2017 — A novel nano-sized optical fiber, about 100 times thinner than a human hair, is sensitive enough to detect forces down to 160 femtonewtons (fN) (about ten trillion times smaller than a newton) when placed in a solution containing live Helicobacter...
Probe Delivering Optoelectronic Stimulation May Strengthen Understanding of Spinal Cord
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 10, 2017 — A rubber-like fiber that can flex and stretch with the human spine while delivering both optical impulses and electrical connections for stimulation and monitoring of the spine could be used in the study of spinal cord neurons and potentially to...
Lighting up the Lungs to Detect Disease
EDINBURGH, Scotland, May 9, 2017 — A novel imaging tool that rapidly diagnoses bacterial lung infections could help physicians customize antibiotic treatment for patients in intensive care units. Currently, diagnosing bacterial infections relies on a slow process of detection...
