Novel laser scans could scan breast for cancer without x-rays, if research at Caltech proves fruitful. Photoacoustic computed tomography, or PACT, works by shining a near-infrared laser pulse into the breast tissue, which is absorbed by oxygen-carrying hemoglobin molecules in red blood cells, causing the molecules to vibrate ultrasonically. Those vibrations travel through the tissue and ...

Korean research lab KAIST has created a flexible array of thin-film blue micro-LEDs, following-on form a similar red array. The team transferred thousands of <2μm-thick blue vertical micro LEDs onto plastic in one go. Electrical connections are via silver wires. Optical power density around 30mW/mm2 was demonstrated. claimed by KAIST to be three times higher that ...
