Date Time New equipment allows scientists to test life-saving drugs in real time A new $1.5 million multiphoton microscopy platform is helping Baker Institute scientists with groundbreaking projects to advance precision medicine, develop smarter clot busting drugs, and prevent damage after a heart attack. The state-of-the-art equipment allows researchers to look at living mouse models to track disease processes and novel treatments in real time. Microscopy facility manager Dr Adam Parslow said the new platform was a huge success story to come out of the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. �...

Credit: Sean Kelley/NIST A voltage is applied across the semiconductor. When a photon hits the detector, its absorbed energy kicks an electron off an atom in the semiconductor – the same photoelectric effect that generates electricity in solar panels. That loose electron is accelerated by the applied voltage and causes a sort of chain reaction in which large numbers of adjacent atoms release an “avalanche” of electrons just as a small added stress can prompt an entire mountainside of snow to collapse. That avalanche current is the output signal. Finally, the device is reset ...

This Machine Creates 3D Objects in Seconds Photo: Myyart When we think of 3D printing we usually think of a little robot that squirts out endless lines of plastic onto a surface. But vacuum forming—smoothing a sheet of thin plastic over an object to make a hollow copy—has been around much longer and is the premise behind Myyard’s Formart 2. Advertisement The machine allows you to place an object on the print bed and make a perfect copy in minutes. To use it you place a flat sheet of plastic onto the holder which the machine heats to just below its melting point. The system pushes the pl...

New 3D imaging technique helps detect breast cancer, COVID-19, other diseases A research team led by UMass Lowell is pioneering a new 3D imaging technique to better detect breast cancer and other diseases, including COVID-19. The noninvasive medical technology uses specialized contrasting dye that recognizes breast cancer cells, allowing practitioners to better visualize human tissue inside the body. The dye amplifies the X-ray signal in tumors when used together with a state-of-the-art computed tomography (CT) scanner, called a "photon-counting spectral CT," which produces multi-colored, 3D ...
