Optoacoustic Sensor Promises More Reliable Cardiological Diagnostics
Optoacoustic Sensor Promises More Reliable Cardiological Diagnostics
A technique based on optical interferometry could enable ultrasonic methods to be used internally to gather information about the heart tissue. Until now ultrasonic methods have only been used externally, because the piezo electronical components necessary for internal use have not been sufficiently miniaturized to be inserted into the blood vessels.

Theoretical Technique Identifies Defects in LED Materials
Theoretical Technique Identifies Defects in LED Materials
The discovery and characterization of a specific type of defect in the atomic structure of an LED that results in less efficient performance could enable fabrication of even more efficient, longer-lasting light sources. Improving the internal quantum efficiency of such LEDs is a vital step for developing and proliferating optoelectronic devices.
