Their research is published in the Journal of Lightwave Technology. “We tackled the persistent issue of balancing spatial resolution and measurement range in our original fiber-optic distributed strain sensing technique called BOCDR,” said Associate Professor Yosuke Mizuno of Yokohama National University. “Our purpose was to develop a more efficient system that overcomes this trade-off without ..read more

Researchers have recently observed a fascinating effect in the behavior of twisted light when it reflects off surfaces. Everyday experience tells us that light reflected from a perfectly flat mirror will give us the correct image without any deformation. Interestingly, this is not the case when the light field itself is structured in a complex ..read more

Dr Shannon Curry said she believes humans will first land on Mars — at the earliest — in 2040, but more realistically 2050. And 2075 before Mars colonization! Very realistic prediction, and I enthusiastically agree. NASA’s MAVEN spacecraft, led by scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder, was supposed to operate for one year when ..read more

A team of engineers and scientists from Caltech and the Keck School of Medicine at USC has created a noninvasive, headset-based device that can assess a patient’s stroke risk by monitoring blood flow and volume changes during a breath-holding test. The device uses a laser-based system and has demonstrated promising results in distinguishing between individuals ..read more
