Compact Transmission-Based Raman Spectrometers Provide Swift, Noninvasive Diagnostics Compact Transmission-Based Raman Spectrometers Provide Swift, Noninvasive Diagnostics Raman spectroscopy, a method that decodes molecular signatures by examining light’s inelastic scattering, has long been a cornerstone of analytical science, revealing everything from...
Editorial
Stretching out Brillouin microscopy Stretching out Brillouin microscopy Brillouin microscopy, long recognized for its ability to identify the biomechanical properties of a sample, has been hindered by slow image acquisition. This is the result of weak signal strength from Brillouin light scattering — when light interacts with a substance and thermal fluctuations or vibrations of molecules cause light to scatter. But recent advancements at the European Molecular...

Clinicians Set the Stage for Robotic Surgery Clinicians Set the Stage for Robotic Surgery When we think about robotic laser control, the first image that probably comes to mind is that of a machine that provides precise laser aiming, either through deflecting mirrors or other motorized optical devices. My team at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) is striving to build robots that can regulate not only laser aiming but also the physical interactions between the laser and human...

Training a rodent-based AI vision model Training a rodent-based AI vision model Though not normally desired as houseguests, rats and mice play an important role in scientific discovery, particularly in the realm of medicine. According to a report published by Missouri Medicine, humans and rodents are much more similar than most would believe. The three species share 95% of their genes. Coupled with rats’ lower gestation period, sexual maturity development, lifespan,...
