Endoscopies have evolved from taking images of the esophagus, intestines, and organs, using bulky equipment to minimally-invasive procedures using precision lasers. A new endoscopy technique, however, involves an even smaller device, one that is measured in microns, with the ability to record pixel-by-pixel images of red blood cells.
Whenever there is a discussion about the best way to throw a football, people will often focus on the grip, the footwork, and even the arm motion before release. What you may not hear as much is the physics involved.
Using nanotechnology and silicon-on-insulator technology, scientists develop a tiny ultrasound detector that can create images of cells and small fragments of tissue. The developers hope the technology can also be expanded outside medical applications such as industrial uses.
Desalination processes to produce potable water are essential for all communities, especially in areas where water is scarce. However, traditional methods go through multiple processes resulting in additional costs and energy. Scientists developed artificial carbon nanotubes as an efficient filtration system.
Chitin, an organic substance commonly found on Earth, can be used to create tools and shelter for future space explorations on the Moon and on Mars. Scientists have been developing technology that efficiently manufactures chitin-derived materials.
