Liver cancer is among the most vicious types of cancer. But treating it and removing cancerous tumors from the liver isn’t easy—it has many blood vessels and tumors in it are typically embedded deep into tissue. Researchers in Sweden are working to alleviate those difficulties; learn how their augmented reality imaging technique is helping.
Using photoluminescence and luminescent materials, a team of scientists in Germany has created a new way of identifying the wavelength of light. Discover ways a new compact thin-film sensor could someday become an anticounterfeiting tool.
Find out how researchers at Luleå University of Technology are using a diagnostic instrument equipped with an ultrafast laser to precisely measure different aspects and qualities of hydrogen, to ultimately help with the development of environmentally friendly, hydrogen-based jet fuel.
