Gravitational Waves
On this month’s show, we look at the recent discovery of gravitational waves that prove Einstein’s theory of general relativity, and how this may change science and astronomy as we know it. We share a wrap-up of Photonics West 2016, and we dive into a new optogenetics technique that has been altered for an immunotherapeutic approach to handling cancerous tumor cells.
