Photonics community moves at 'warp speed' Reported new infections of COVID-19 have continued to ebb and flow around the world. But the need for an adaptable battery of diagnostic tests built around cutting-edge imaging that can be administered in a variety of settings — not to mention the continued study of the characteristics of the disease — has only increased over the last few months. Only a clear picture of what the...

BioOpinion
Smartphone sensors could detect COVID-19 Widely available and accurate testing will be an important tool for identifying those needing treatment and for controlling the COVID-19 pandemic. Testing is required to answer two important questions: 1) Am I infected? and 2) Do I have immunity? However, as we move forward with opening up society, there is also a third question: Are any of the people with whom I have come into contact infected?...

Couples’ minds think alike when together Readers may have heard about parents who are “in sync” with each other when raising their children. Now, a new study at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore has used functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to demonstrate that when couples are physically near each other, their brains respond to parenting stimuli in the same way.
