Soft Optical Systems as Biointegrated Technologies: From Biological Research to Clinical Health Care
Tue, Mar 7, 2023 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST
Advanced optoelectronic systems that can intimately integrate with soft living tissues have the potential to accelerate progress in biological research and to serve as the foundations for new approaches in patient care. John Rogers, Ph.D., of Northwestern University describes foundational concepts in optics, device physics, and manufacturing processes for these types of technologies, along with examples of commercialized systems for neuroengineering and patient monitoring.
The Universe Through Sight, Sound, and Touch: Exploring Multiwavelength Astrophysics Data Sets
Wed, Mar 8, 2023 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST
Information about the universe can be more than just a two-dimensional snapshot. Researchers are able to transform these digital assets to listen to, feel, or virtually move through cosmic objects. Kimberly Arcand, Ph.D., shares how it is possible to listen to the debris from an exploded star, walk through the core of the Milky Way in 3D through virtual reality, feel vibrations of a stellar nursery, and experience the universe anew. She focuses on some of the innovative ways that experts and non-experts can explore astrophysical data through sonification, 3D printing, and extended reality.
