The Impact of Particle Pollution Environmental pollution is directly linked to a long list of health problems including asthma, decreased lung function, and cardiovascular disease. A study conducted by a ...

In 1984, Charles Hull placed the first building block of 3D printing technology: stereolithography. This early technique used lasers to bind polymers together in a predetermined design. Engineers used a ...

From night vision cameras to powerful telescopes, the range of applications involving infrared technology is vast. In the previous article, we covered the basics of infrared technology and the types of ...

An object that has a temperature greater than absolute zero emits some type of radiation. More often than not, objects surrounding us emit radiation in the form of heat that is not visible to the naked ...

Small mechanical systems and optics are interlinked in many ways. People use lasers to create small electronic systems like those found in semiconductors. Increasingly, light plays an important role in ...

From Star Wars to Star Trek, the idea of interstellar travel has always fascinated us. Today, scientists and researchers are looking for ways to turn the vision of interstellar travel into reality. One of ...

Multi-photon microscopy is a useful tool for analyzing in-vivo interactions between photons and living tissues. One of its characteristics is deep tissue penetration, meaning it can get a better look at ...

Adaptive optics is a technology to compensate for distortions in an imaging system. It typically uses a deformable mirror, that deforms to adjust for incoming distortion as the image is taken. It has been ...

When we think about the type of matter that makes up the majority of our universe, we tend to say it is baryonic (stars, gases, galaxies, planets, and dust). While it is true that baryonic matter makes up ...

In modern medicine, the ultrasound is a go-to method for viewing the body’s internal structures, given its non-invasive nature. Ultrasound produces images in real time by relaying high frequency soundwaves ...
