New Technique for the Additive Manufacturing of Glass
Researchers from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have developed a process using glass for additive manufacturing techniques. The scientists first mix nanoparticles of high-purity quartz glass with small amounts of liquid polymer; they then cure the mixture with light at specific points through a process called stereolithography.

Volumetric Imaging Technique Could Eliminate Needles for Blood Tests
Researchers from Purdue University have developed a chemical imaging system that uses a femtosecond laser to penetrate deep into tissue and that could eliminate conventional blood tests for analyses such as drug testing and early detection of diseases. The laser system has two 100-fs pulses — one at 1040 nm with the other tunable from 680 to 1300 nm — giving the user the ability to tune the laser to excite different vibrational transitions of the specimen.

Changes in Optical Noise Lead to Hidden Target Detection
A novel method for tracking hidden objects does so by analyzing the fluctuations in the optical noise created by the object’s movement. This approach could help advance real-time remote sensing for military and other applications, and could be useful in areas of research that involve fast-moving particles that cannot be observed directly.

Drones Record Activity From Volcanic Plume
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) carrying lightweight sensors were used to collect temperature, humidity and thermal data within the remote volcanic clouds of Guatemala. The UAVs also took images of multiple volcanic eruptions in real time. The research team believes this to be one of the first times that fixed-wing UAVs have been used at a site such as Volcán de Fuego, where the lack of close access to the summit vent has prevented robust gas measurements in the past.
