Noncontact Laser Ultrasound Safely Images Human Tissue
MIT engineers have devised an alternative to conventional ultrasound imaging that doesn’t require contact with the body and can be used on patients who may not tolerate a probe on their body, such as infants, burn patients, or patients with sensitive skin. In tests scanning the forearms of volunteers, the researchers were able to observe common tissue features such as muscle, fat, and bone down to about 5 cm below the skin.

Silicon Quantum Bits Communicate over Relatively Long Distance
A Princeton University research team has shown that silicon quantum bits, mediated by a microwave photon, can interact even when spaced relatively far apart on a computer chip. The ability to transmit messages across relatively long distances on a silicon chip using multiple qubits could open new possibilities for quantum computing.
