Malaria Detection Using Cell Phones Wins Gates Grant
BEERSHEBA, Israel, May 15, 2011 — Ben-Gurion University of the Negev researcher Alberto Bilenca has been awarded a prestigious grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to develop a fast, low-cost device to accuracy diagnose malaria without the need for blood collection in field settings. Bilenca's project is based on a standard cell phone camera and a red laser pointer that can noninvasively obtain finger blood perfusion images with excellent resolution and contrast in less than 1 s. It uses the principles of...

Pigment-Free Feathers Inspire Mirrorless Laser
NEW HAVEN, Conn., May 11, 2011 — Bright, colorful birds, the feathers of which get their color not from pigment molecules but from a largely random distribution of embedded air pockets, are the inspiration for a new mirrorless laser developed at Yale University. The Rufous-collared...
A Limit to Nanotechnology Mass Production?
CAMBRIDGE, England, May 5, 2011 — In a bold statement that raised questions about a billion-dollar industry, Mike Kelly, professor and nanotechnology scientist at the Center for Advanced Photonics and Electronics at the University of Cambridge, said that structures with a diameter...
Camera vs. Eye: Why the Eyes Have It
BERKELEY, Calif., May 5, 2011 — The human eye long ago solved a problem common to both digital and film cameras: how to get good contrast in an image while capturing faint detail. Physiologists described the retina’s tricks for improving contrast and sharpening edges decades...
Corning CEO Touts ‘Exciting’ Year
CORNING, N.Y., May 5, 2011 — At Corning Inc.’s annual meeting last week, CEO Wendell P. Weeks said 2010 was an “outstanding year” for the company, driven largely by sales of its Gorilla Glass, which tripled its sales over 2009. Weeks said the company is...
Terahertz Invisibility Cloak Created
EVANSTON, Ill., May 4, 2011 — Researchers at Northwestern University have created a cloaking material that can render objects invisible in the terahertz range. Although the design can’t translate into an invisibility cloak for the visible spectrum, it could have...
