Where life begins, the matter is structured at the micron scale by slotting every single molecule into its needful space. The molecules looped a bilipid membrane and nested more functional molecules inside, controlling the flows of energy in that smallest living cell. Every loop is a thicket of surprises on how much life can accomplish. […]

Attendees at the SciX 2022 conference, which will be held Oct. 2-7 in Covington, Ky., will hear from expert researchers about everything from the use of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy in drug discovery to machine learning’s capability to capture biological and chemical changes in the body. The exhibit floor will offer insights into the latest developments in scientific analysis and laser-enhanced therapy, from major companies such as Avantes, Bruker Optics, Coherent, DRS Daylight Solutions, Edinburgh Instruments, HORIBA Scientific, Ibsen Photonics, OptoSigma, Teledyne Princeton Instruments, TOPTICA Photonics, and WITec.

Organized by the Federation of Analytical Chemistry and Spectroscopy Societies (FACSS), SciX will be held...

In health care systems located in low- and middle-income countries, addressing the growing burden of cancer diagnosis and surgery may require a new vision — one that leverages affordable, portable, electricity-independent, and accessible biomedical technologies. Technologies that leverage biomedical optics are poised to meet this need because they can capture relevant morphological and physiological information that guides cancer diagnoses and excisions. These technologies can also be developed to enable procedures that are fast, low-cost, noninvasive, and nondestructive to tissue, making such devices potentially well suited for areas where surgical space is limited.

According to the World Health Organization, 4.8 billion people...

Scan heads with innovative controls are already used in many industrial laser-based applications that require the highest precision and throughput. Now the benefits of scanning with zero tracking error are being positioned for ophthalmic applications related to vision correction, in which scan pattern fidelity is critical for a good patient care outcome. This smart control technology enables new and different strategies for diagnosis and treatment compared to the limitations of previous controls, which are affected by tracking error, especially when processing circles, spirals, and freeform structures. These advancements will allow completely new ophthalmic treatments, as well as successful and reproducible refractive surgeries. By using...
