Being able to quickly and accurately detect a virus can mean the difference between life and death. Taking notes from past pandemics, researchers at Boston University have developed a microscope that could help scientists be better prepared for the future.

Solar power technology must function properly and reliably to remain useful and effective. A new imaging approach in development at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory could help ensure that.

A deeper understanding of female reproductive physiology can help medical professionals handle issues including ectopic pregnancies and infertility. Researchers have developed an OCT-based imaging approach that can do just that.
