Classical X-ray radiographs provide information about internal, absorptive structures of organisms such as bones.
Alternatively, X-rays can also image soft tissues throughout early embryonic development of vertebrates. Related to this, a new X-ray method was presented recently in a Nature...
Kinect's potential for gaming might not have been thaaaat great, but its applications for other things, like cheating at pool and medicine, have been pretty impressive. The team at Microsoft Research Cambridge, for instance, have rigged one up to peek inside skulls and look at brains with...
An international team of scientists, using the world's most powerful X-ray laser, has revealed the three dimensional structure of a key enzyme that enables the single-celled parasite that causes African trypanosomiasis (or sleeping sickness) in humans. With the elucidation of the 3D structure of...
Ok, so maybe it's a little early to start putting together my holiday fitness gear wish list. But honestly, it's hard not to start eyeballing covet-worthy items when they come along--like these awesome tights from Nike, which have a digital print of the female skeleton on them. How cool are...
I want to purchase Game of Thrones from Amazon for my kindle, however, region copyright prohibits me from getting it. I really like the X-ray feature too. I have the next books in the series (dunno why #1 is prohibited) so is there any way to get the X-ray enabled featured to my kindle when I...
Jackson Laboratory researchers have demonstrated that a single, targeted x-ray treatment of an individual eye in young, glaucoma-prone mice provided that eye with apparently life-long and typically complete protection from glaucoma. In research published March 19 in the Journal of Clinical...
It is called NuStar, for "Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array," and NASA will be launching this giant thing that looks like a dumpster on March 14th.
NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, or NuSTAR, mission is seen here being lowered into its shipping container at Orbital...
Lab scientists and international collaborators have created the shortest, purest X-ray laser pulses ever achieved, fulfilling a 45-year-old prediction and ultimately opening the door to new medicines, devices and materials. The researchers, reporting in Nature, aimed radiation from the Linac...
MIM Software Inc., a leading global provider of medical imaging software, announced today that Mobile MIM™ has received its second FDA 510(k) clearance for the release of its new version, Mobile MIM 3.0. Mobile MIM is now cleared for diagnostic X-ray and ultrasound viewing, as well as radiation...
A new high-speed X-ray video camera, now the fastest in the world, can see through molten metal and watch weld-weakening flaws form in real-time. Take a look at sample footage from the device. More »
Why jumping onto the conveyor belt for an x-ray would cross anyone's mind is beyond me. If you're trying to prove that you're not carrying metal, you've succeeded. But you've also proved that you're crazy enough to be a terrorist. More »
A new lab-based computed tomography (CT) system, capable of delivering synchrotron-like 3D imaging at 50 nanometer resolution within a laboratory setting, was announced by Xradia, Inc. TheÂ?UltraXRM-L200 is the newest addition to the ultra-high resolution UltraXRM™ nanoscale family of X-ray...
