Time to Speed Up Technology Transfer All too often, the journey from bench to bedside is measured not with a stopwatch but with a calendar. There are reasons for this slow pace: Time is the cost of a thorough vetting. But it’s unfortunate how some photonics technologies show so much promise to save lives, but — because of funding constraints — don’t reach their potential.

National Cancer Moonshot: From Photonics Research and Technology Development In his final State of the Union address last January, President Barack Obama forged a new way forward for the fight against cancer. Over the last several decades, the “war on cancer” has celebrated a limited number of significant but narrow victories despite medical advances. The early detection of the most lethal cancers, including brain, lung, ovarian and pancreatic, remains...
