Precisely applied heat from the touch of a laser not only can hide blemishes, but can also save lives. For many, laser surgery brings to mind highly refined incisions made by coherent light pulses....
Editorial
Medical Devices Promise Access, Accuracy
Medical device manufacturers in the US were following two big stories in June – and the results will begin to affect their business in 2013. In the last week of June, Congress voted to extend FDA user fees as part of the FDA Safety and Innovation Act. That same week, the US Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act, which includes a tax on medical devices....

Satellite view improves penguin head count
Satellite imagery and pan-sharpening have shown researchers that there are twice as many emperor penguins marching around Antarctica than previously thought. The ability to track the penguin population with this satellite mapping technology could help monitor the long-term impact of environmental change on the birds. There is the concern, for example, that early spring warming could affect...
